Home, where did you go?
Peace, how could I know?

Teachers please read my lips
’Cause you taught me NOTHING
Always an empty stare
Always overlooking
Torture for little kids
A playground
A mine field
Gave your silent support

Dreams, where did you go?
Work, what did I know?
All I wanted was to live OK
Dreams, where did you go?
Work, who could have known
Should have kept the dream of becoming someone
