Kids have got diplomas they can't read.
They think that self-esteem is all they need.
Don't have the basic knowledge.
When they're headed off to college.
Can't find Asia on a map.
Don't care about the learning gap.
Vouchers are the way to make things right.
But teachers unions always put up a fight.
'Cuz if they had to compete
They wouldn't earn enough to eat.
Consider what they don't achieve.
They gotta think we're all naive.
Dumbing down our youth.
You know I'm tellin' the truth.
Indoctrination
Instead of education.
Dumbing down our youth.
You know I'm tellin' the truth.
Indoctrination
Instead of education.
Environmental propaganda mills.
Neglecting lots of academic skills.
Eco-that and eco-this.
Our educators gone amiss.
Filling heads with lib'ral junk.
Peddling all the latest bunk.
Dumbing down our youth.
You know I'm tellin' the truth.
Indoctrination
Instead of education.
Dumbing down our youth.
You know I'm tellin' the truth.
Indoctrination
Instead of education.
Who the heck was Lincoln?
Where are France and Spain?
The kids don't do much thinkin'.
It's too hard on the brain.
Preparing kids for failure on the job.
Preparing kids to join the clueless mob.
They'll yield to the state,
'Cuz sheep will never debate.
We gotta help our children learn.
Before the point of no return.
Dumbing down our youth.
You know I'm tellin' the truth.
Indoctrination
Instead of education.
Dumbing down our youth.
You know I'm tellin' the truth.
Indoctrination
Instead of education.
