if you go to school


this is what they teach the teachers
in these modern times
lock the doors
turn out the lights
and close the windows' blinds
everybody must be quiet
nothing can be said
and if you make an error
there's a chance you'll end up dead
all the students must obey
if they want to live another day
you must follow all the rules
if you go to school

this is how you run a high school
in these modern times
only one door can be used
and staff will be assigned
to be aware of what can come
if violence breaks out
we must protect each other 
that's what school is now about
and everybody lives in fear
that Columbine can happen here
you must learn to keep your cool
if you go to school

everybody everywhere
in these modern times
will know the danger and the drill
and recognize the signs
everyone in all the schools
they all learn the same
staff and students meet the guns
and no one is to blame
and everybody must obey
and go through this everyday
the world inside is hard and cruel
if you go to school
