When you're young they pick you up
You're not strong so you give up
And they put you in a classroom
And they tell you you'll get it soon
You accept all they'll teach you
And if you fall they punish you
Refrain
No marks, no points and no suspense
Will help them live in society
Give all the kids love and a sense for freedom, peace and fantasy
The law is good, the state is good
This is the food that'll do you good
The policeman he is your friend
When you're a man, you'll understand
You'll have to be a normal man
Just like a bee, work till you're mad
If there's a war, they will call you
You'll be a star, they'll flatter you
In one battle, you'll kick the bucket
A poor cattle, they won't regret
All the goodmarks, all the medals
It's all to stark, faded petals
Don't let them do, kids of the world
Do not be fool, reject their words
'Cause life is more than they tell you
Take it before they deceive you
