Thirst for Knowledge Songtext

von None Like Joshua

Bias
Ignorance
Denial
Indoctrination

Arrogance
Inexperience
Set in my ways
I am uneducated

I am uneducated

I am uneducated
The day I became that ward of the state
Was the day I was born - formed out of rape
But they forced her to wait for abortion in-state.

The image they inspired had filled her with hate
So she kept me alive to be given away
Months go by with the years and the days
I don't know why this appeared to be fate

Longed for a home, it was near too late
I had grown too violent, fearing to stay
In one place -- with no soul to blame, try
To-explain this way of life is in vain

Thoughts of God with
Alcohol
I wander on
Roxonol and octagons
Brown crystal balls, no different walls
Just prison halls

I am uneducated

Cause nobody gave a fuck about me
Never think I won't cut you for money on the street
To survive in the heat, no life will be deemed
As important, ensuring my mouth to feed

Spend it all on tar and meat
The things that I eat that sing me to sleep
Artificial chemical preservative kept for
The people like me, never knowing any better than

Commercials seen on the TV screens
Hurtful to be on the TNT
I begin to breed these conspiracies made of
Racism, bigotry, anything that isn't me

But I'm the nigger, the faggot,
The spic, the cracker
The catholic hobo, gook, jew, and paki
No common sense of the consequence
When the cops arrest me for intolerance

Never been desired by a woman
So I'll try to just force her to do it
The beginning of the ignorant cycle commences
Wishing my existence had died at conception

And she was dumb enough to walk at night
Maybe she didn't have a choice
She should've never grew up in this neighborhood
She should've had someone to teach her
You think I care what will happen?
No one cared for me
And no one will care for him
No one will be smart enough to care for him
He will be uneducated

I am uneducated
Bias
Ignorance
Denial
Indoctrination

Arrogant
Inexperienced
Set in my ways
I am uneducated
