[Verse 1 - Joe]

Thought I’d start up music and try to make a few notes

Cause I’m sick of this dumb shit, memorising quotes

Keeping us from growth with mathematical decodes

Feels like a long road to decode our free mode

It’s the same all the time yeah Groundhog Day

Get up, go to school, hide your feelings away

Get back, do homework that looms over each day

Like I’m stuck on a treadmill, all this work feels the same

[Verse 2 - Joe]

Attendance says I’m present but my mind is on another grind

Can’t be dealt a second hand if you’re counting down the clock time

Told school defines if our life dеclines to a world of crime

Said we havе to push for that GCSE grade 9

Told if we are wrong or not, outright, no insight

Try escape the system, get outside, we tried

How we meant to do it if our teachers don’t try ignite

Something really meaningful, not this rule binded dog shite

[Chorus - Jack]

Make us drink up poison lies like intoxication

Our minds wasted, only used for concentration

The got the nation conformed and confined to what they’re saying

This ain’t education no more, it’s indoctrination

We’ve got to change it, but who will swat us to awaken?

When law enforce dystopia and everyone’s complacent

If we abort the ward soon they’ll have lost their patients

And cards on the table we’ll see who then holds the aces

[Verse 3 - Jack]

Get you uniformed, press upon you what they think are wins or not

Tell you the suitable stories you can live, writing off different plots

How’s active transport gonna help when my captain can bring the yacht

Fuck ‘em other degrees when you rap so fire Celsius everything you want

I ain’t battin’ an eye cuz I’m hittin’ the books

Moonshot, head in the clouds without kissin’ the snus

All I get is “well done”, I want Michelin cooked

So I’m locked in with bars like I’m sittin’ with crooks

School tryna straighten me out, nah, I’m buildin’ a hook

Everyone uniformed, I want a different look

[Verse 4 - Jack]

Sin of pie mean nothing to me

'less they talking ‘bout gluttony

I want slices of life, not’a be stuck in RE

But I’m one with PE; best on tracks constantly

Send children to schools, losing what could’ve been

Lock ‘em up for their best years when they wanna be free

I was locked in the scheme now I’m poppin’ with schemes

Why try be top of the YG when I’m toppin’ IG?

[Chorus - Jack]

Make us drink up poison lies like intoxication

Our minds wasted, only used for concentration

The got the nation conformed and confined to what they’re saying

This ain’t education no more, it’s indoctrination

We’ve got to change it, but who will swat us to awaken?

When law enforce dystopia and everyone’s complacent

If we abort the ward soon they’ll have lost their patients

And cards on the table we’ll see who then holds the aces
