They send you to this school
And said fill your head with knowledge
My head is full my dear
There is nothing else I can learn!
False.
The mutterings in the hallway
Cries in the night
Ribs through the shirt
Emptied my head
Columbus does not teach you how to survive
Aristotle does not tell you how to fight
Hemingway does not teach you pain.
They send you to this school
And said fill your head with knowledge
I emptied my head
And filled it with what I learned.
That’s what you wanted, right?
