They say they want to teach you
They say they're trying to reach you
They really want to teach you
They're only trying to reach you
They say don't go against the grain
Don't add fuel to the flame
Stay in between the white lines
Learn to read the right signs
Stay in between the white lines
And learn to read the right signs
They say just learn to compromise
We'll have a meeting of the minds
They say don't try to win the race
You have to learn to run in place
Someday you'll have it all
Just beat your head against the wall
You learn to play the game
You help to dig your grave
You learn to play the game
You help to dig your grave
But you say someday I'll see you fall
Someday I'll make you crawl
Someday I'll have it all
I'll beat your head against the wall
