Madness rules this concrete jungle
Ain't no mercy here
Victims prey on victims
Just to hide from their own fear

Baby it's a big world
The adventure begins
Don't you want to taste it
Don't you wonder where you fit in

Waiting for an answer
But it ain't gonna come
Can't tell where we're going
'Till we know where we're coming from

I want it
I need it
Education

We don't tear them down
We mend our fences endlessly
We've accepted our own prisons
Much too quietly

You want to have a good time
Want to have a little fun
Babies making babies
They'll never know freedom

You got a little money
Can't buy peace of mind
Got a little muscle
Can't use it all the time

I want it
I need it
Education

Education is the weapon
The weapon is education
