Tell ´em, "Say no to drugs"
"Substances make you dumb"
Then you say, "give ´em some"
Are you the victim
Of this experience
Child experiment
Teacher´s predicament?
You´re in THE SYSTEM

And if you don´t walk the line
You can walk the plank
Your older brother (government)
Wants to control your mind
You´re more useful blank

[Pre-refrain]
Medicate the kids
Feathers turn to quills
Pump ´em full of training fluids
Powders and pills
There´s nothing you can´t flush out
And nothing you can´t kill

[refrain]
Why don´t you just back off of us
Before we go crazy?
I´m gonna tell you,
"No way,
This ain´t fair play,
Just don´t medicate me"

Tell ´em, "Say no to drugs"
"Substances make you dumb"
Unless you get ´em from
Someone who loves you
One who knows best for you
Paid for those tests for you
Knows how to get you through
When it´s above you
And you can´t get on top
Cause it´s high to climb,
You hear them saying,
"Don´t make me call the cops"
Every other time

[Pre-refrain]
[refrain]

[Bridge]
And there´s a long line
Flowing from prescription aisles
Filed through legal means
So we can alter the child
For his protection
Tie him to extension cords,
This is the age of discipline

[refrain]
