you have the freedom now to be a fool

torment the weary and oppress the old

announce that only lies be taught in school


this is the age of a most leaden rule

when shoddy's silk and plastic goes for gold

you have the freedom now to be a fool


you might mistake the product for the tool

but must in any case do what you're told

announce that only lies be taught in school


we listen while the preachers curse and drool

death is the punishment for being bold

you have the freedom now to be a fool


the victory goes always to the ghoul

and justice is thrust out into the cold

announce that only lies be taught in school


it is the dumb who manage to seem cool

while idiotic values are extolled

you have the freedom now to be a fool

announce that only lies be taught in school

 you wait too long and fall before the storm
a world of anger cannot long stay dry
but we are weak and could not tell you why

the way we act has been the proper form
or how we made things happen by and by
you wait too long and fall before the storm

in formal language we achieve the norm
and do not worry about full supply
only the foolish look up at the sky
you wait too long and fall before the storm
