Numonics - Obedient Workers lyrics

[Hook: George Carlin & REKS] They don't want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don't want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. They're not interested in that. That doesn't help them. That's against their interests. That's right. You know something? They don't want people who are smart enough to sit around the kitchen table and figure out how badly they're getting f**ed by a system that threw them over board 30 f**ing years ago Now I dumb it down to sleep Close my eyes, pretend I am blind But I know, yes I know, yes I know-o There are no words to speak I bite my tongue this time And pretend not to teach But I do, yes I do, yes I do-o [Verse 1: REKS] Good day to ya, might I say properly Nothing like the good old American monopoly Property, how do you control space? Make 'em hate self, went out to control race Democracy, please come out your hiding place Hypocrisy, our leaders bare your ugly face Mine eyes can see the coming of divided state Philosophy, I know that I know nothing, Socrates [Hook] [Verse 2: REKS] Uncle Sam and Uncle Tom were politicking Sam was cracking the whip, Tom was cotton picking Sam said to Tom, Tom wait a cotton picking Man now you could be out the field, in the kitchen Tom said, sir I reckon, so I got to listen Gonna get me a bow tie, I'll get to fetchin' Whatever you need fetched, and you can call me Benson I'm at your service sir, if it don't involve lynching [Outro: George Carlin] They don't want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don't want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. They're not interested in that. That doesn't help them. That's against their interests. That's right. You know something? They don't want people who are smart enough to sit around the kitchen table and figure out how badly they're getting f**ed by a system that threw them over board 30 f**ing years ago. They don't want that. You know what they want? They want obedient workers. Obedient workers
