fundamental education

we lean on memory which best should speak

truths are left open for the world to view

and not a thing we learn is found brand new

our simplest urges have been branded cheek

this is the way when you offer critique

to any of that old and famished crew

whose lives are based on noise and ballyhoo

but honesty's a sharp tool for the weak

now all our signals have to be sent clear

with not a scent or symbol of the crypt

that might annoy or otherwise distract

our solemn purpose is to keep out fear

obey all orders and stick to the script

while leaving to you knowledge of the fact
