Strange Arithmetic

[00:07.98] History has taught me some strange arithmetic
[00:16.37] Using swords, prison bars, and pistol grips
[00:19.32] English is the art of bombing towns
[00:21.77] While assuring that you really only blessed the ground
[00:24.72] Science is that honorable, useful study
[00:27.86] Where you contort the molecules and then you make that money
[00:30.60] In mathematics, dead children don't get added
[00:33.87] But they count the cost of bullets comin out the automatic
[00:36.63] Please, don't make me a victim
[00:43.36] You need to tell us how to flip this system
[00:49.16] Economics is the symphony of hunger and theft
[01:15.01] Mortar shells often echo out the cashing of checks
[01:18.10] In Geography class, it's borders, mountains and rivers
[01:21.13] But they will never show the line between the takers and givers
[01:24.02] Algebra is that unique occasion
[01:26.97] In which a school can say that there should be a balanced equation
[01:29.92] And then Statistics is the tool of the complicit
[01:32.83] To say everybody's with it and that you're the only critic
[01:35.94] Social Studies, the goliath to tackle
[02:14.33] Which turns into a sermon on simplicity of shackles
[02:17.39] Physics is to school you on the science of force
[02:20.09] 'Cept for how to break the hell out the ghetto, of course
[02:23.19] Home Ec can teach you how to make a few sauces
[02:25.96] And accept low pay from your Walmart bosses
[02:28.86] If your school won't show you how to fight for what's needed
[02:32.03] Then they're training you to go through life and get cheated
[02:35.04]
