Competition of the minds

But in the end it's a waste of time

What you learn, does it matter?

We're only in it to make our pockets fatter

Forced to decide what to do with your life

Eighteen and you better get it right

Conform or fail

The world's a hammer and you're the nail

Pressure keeps pressing

You're locked in, you're stressing

Mind crime that's what they do

Chew you up and only spare a few

When you're done it's not over

Pay up or they're comin' to get ya

It's a scheme

It's a trap

And you'll grow up just to send your kids back

Mind crime

Forced to decide what to do with your life

Eighteen and you better get it right

Conform or fail

The world's a hammer and you're the nail

Break the trend

Educate

Gain knowledge in your own way

Don't fall for it

Don't buy it

Take my word

Or regret it
