No School, Just a Cell

लिरिक्स

[Verse 1] Pushed down the hall, away from the crowd They locked the door when I spoke too loud "Just for your own good," the papers all say A quiet room to keep the trouble away But it’s a holding cell under fluorescent light No lessons learned, just learning how to fight They write the reports, they sign off the names A paper trail to cover up their games [Chorus] Special education, but there is no school! Just another way to keep the different ruled! Underfunded, locked behind the heavy door They don't want to teach us, they just want to ignore! Break the restraint! Break the lock! They run the classroom like a cell block! [Verse 2] Staring at the clock, tracing the lines They medicate the spirit till it aligns No science, no history, no path to succeed Just worksheets and quiet to suppress the need "High support needs" is the label they chose But the only thing supported is how the door close We are the numbers they write off the sheet Standardized failure, absolute defeat [Chorus] Special education, but there is no school! Just another way to keep the different ruled! Underfunded, locked behind the heavy door They don't want to teach us, they just want to ignore! Break the restraint! Break the lock! They run the classroom like a cell block! [Bridge] (Whispered, building tension) Quiet down. Sit still. Take the pill. Quiet down. Sit still. Or they will. (Screamed) THEY WILL! BREAK! THE! LOCK! Let us out! [Guitar Solo] [Aggressive, down-tuned seven-string guitar solo, heavy wah effect, shifting into a rhythmic bounce riff] [Chorus] Special education, but there is no school! Just another way to keep the different ruled! Underfunded, locked behind the heavy door They don't want to teach us, they just want to ignore! Break the restraint! Break the lock! They run the classroom like a cell block! [Outro] No more quiet rooms! No more locked doors! We are not your numbers! No more! [Heavy drum smash, sudden silence]
