Government authorize education
(Don't mean a thing)
They'll teach you what they want you to think
(Don't mean a thing)
Saturation of stars and stripes
(Don't mean a thing)
The only freedom worth fighting for is for what you think
(It don't mean a thing)

Why bother spending time
Reading up on things
Everybody's an authority
In a free land
In a free land
