lyrics

To me this place was always a prison
I couldn't wait to see the outside
They said to raise our hands and be counted
They said they wouldn't leave us behind
But I was punished by my teacher for reading in between the lines

Be quiet here, your voice has no value
Be quiet here, you're wasting your time
and it was here I spent the best days
the best years of my life
They told us that work would mean salvation
They said we must suffer to survive
And I was punished by my teacher for reading in between the lines

chorus-
CLASS DISMISSED
When will you learn your lesson?
CLASS DISMISSED
Do you recall a time you weren't afraid?
CLASS DISMISSED
Do as you've been instructed
You don't have to feel it
DO AS YOU'VE BEEN TOLD
DO IT!

Today it's even more like a prison
There's guards lining up on all sides
They'd have us trade our books in for bullets
You're safer facing enemy lines
And I was punished by my teacher for reading in between the lines

[chorus]
