    This is an old song that was written while I was in math class in high school. It is representative of the fantasies that I had dialy while I was going to the prison known as "public school".

    Story Behind the Song
    Here is the dictionary defintion of "prison":

    Main Entry: 1pris·on
    Pronunciation: 'pri-z&n
    Function: noun
    Etymology: Middle English, from Old French, from Latin prehension-, prehensio act of seizing, from prehendere to seize -- more at GET
    Date: 12th century
    1 : a state of confinement or captivity
    2 : a place of confinement especially for lawbreakers; specifically : an institution (as one under state jurisdiction) for confinement of persons convicted of serious crimes -- compare JAIL

    By that definition, public school is a prison. It is an institution that citizens are required to do time in that is under state jurisdiction.

    I realized this at an early age. Just imagine me singing this song while banging a tin cup against the bars of my cell.

    I wish I could play the harmonica...

    Lyrics
    The school officially closes today
    Step aside principal, it's going away
    We're gonna DESTROY everything in site
    Break all the windows
    Bust all the lights
    Burn the textbooks that teach us lies
    The educational system's demise
    We finally become individuals
    We're people you know, not your little tools

    DESTROY the school!
    No more rules!
    I don't care
    Their conscience is not there

    Throw the globe against the wall
    Hell yes I will destroy them all
    The little lines are'nt really there
    I am free to go anywhere
    You can't hold me here no more
    What are you gonna do? Barracade the door?
    The school is going up in flames
    I'm tired of playing brainwashing games
