a liberal education
Take away our history Take away our heroes Take away our values And leave us here with nothing We were in the garden of Eden Just as children mess around We only leant against the tree And the apple came tumbling down  You gave us what we asked for But never what we wanted We were only children How could you have been so stupid We went up to the steel walls That guard the sacred town We only whispered to ourselves And the walls came tumbling down  We didn't want a victory We just wanted to fight But you wouldn't fight You just gave in You went and spoiled every game You broke an everlasting chain And nobody respects you for your weakness  Take away our idols Take away our faith Take away our hatred And put us in this vacuum Then say be yourself, please yourself Express yourself some more It's your right to do what you like Because we can't really be bothered with you at all  We didn't want a victory We just wanted to fight But you wouldn't fight You said it isn't nice to fight You went and spoiled every game You broke an everlasting chain And nobody respects you for your weakness
