   « Strange Arithmetic by Boots Riley
   History has taught me some strange arithmetic
   Using swords, prison bars, and pistol grips
   English is the art of bombing towns
   While assuring that you really only blessed the ground
   Science is that honorable, useful study
   Where you contort the molecules and then you make that money
   In mathematics, dead children don’t get added
   But they count the cost of bullets comin out the automatic
   Teacher
   My hands up
   Please, don’t make me a victim
   Teachers
   Stand up
   You need to tell us how to flip this system
   Economics is the symphony of hunger and theft
   Mortar shells often echo out the cashing of checks
   In Geography class, it’s borders, mountains and rivers
   But they will never show the line between the takers and givers
   Algebra is that unique occasion
   In which a school can say that there should be a balanced equation
   And then Statistics is the tool of the complicit
   To say everybody’s with it and that you’re the only critic
   Teacher
   My hands up
   Please, don’t make me a victim
   Teachers
   Stand up
   You need to tell us how to flip this system
   Social Studies, the goliath to tackle
   Which turns into a sermon on simplicity of shackles
   Physics is to school you on the science of force
   ‘Cept for how to break the hell out the ghetto, of course
   Home Ec can teach you how to make a few sauces
   And accept low pay from your Wal*Mart bosses
   If your school won’t show you how to fight for what’s needed
   Then they’re training you to go through life and get cheated
   Teacher
   My hands up
   Please, don’t make me a victim
   Teachers
   Stand up
   You need to tell us how to flip this system »
