They Don't Understand Us at the Academy

We're walking past the windows

Trying to disrupt the classes

Where you're learning nothing

In a gang of five or more

They'll discredit us

And defile our names

But we know the truth

I've got a noose around my neck

I've got a fever

I've got the stuff I think you'd want

I've got a noose around my neck

And I've heard the news

I've heard the news

Now we're walking through the campus

This is the place where minds

Are turned into robotics

In our gang of five or more

They teach us what to think

But not to think on our own

Taking this back to cellophane court

I can't see what I've learned

But know that I've changed

My friends they all laugh

But what do they know

The world is unfair

It's set up all the way

The self made brain is what we want

Nail what I've learned

To the front of my door

Manufacturing thoughts

And selling them too

The gang of five

Is not infinite yet

We may grow up and get lost in it all.
