The cleverly young and hopeful
You'll want to save the world
Win against all odds
Think outside the box

But before

They'll put you in a box
Crush your wishful thoughts
They'll tell you to
Read, write, study
Remember the laws
And theories
***** them on paper
Forget them sooner or later
They'll make you
Sleep less and skip parties
They'll program you
To think of your grades only
They'll make you
Obey the laws
And theories

After years of torturous devotion

They'll reward you
With a framed paper piece
They'll say congratulations
You're saved from the world
Of the uneducated beings
You'll sing the laws
And theories
You'll want to serve
You'll want to be safe
You'll build yourself a box

And they'll win.
