The Academy
In the academy
They take the young
To join their side, assimilate
No place to run
They're at your doorstep
Your family cries
Pulled out their guns and shot them dead
Your last goodbye
(They take the young, they take the young)
(With loaded guns, with loaded guns)
(No place to run, no place to run)
(It just begun, it just begun)
Oh oh oh
Oh the academy
Oh oh oh
They're always watching me
Oh oh oh
Wish it was just a dream
But lord you just can't sleep
In the academy
In the academy
You're six years old
You gotta learn to pull the trigger
Or they'll break your nose
They're always watching
Your every move
They beat you down and break your spirit
'Til it buries you
(Yeah truth be told, yeah truth be told)
(The story goes, the story goes)
(At six years old, at six years old)
(They'll break your nose, they'll break your nose)
They pin you down
And feed you lies
Stripped of your rights
To join their side
They'll shoot you
Right between the eyes
If you resist
So don't blink twice
Pin you down
Feed you lies
Stripped your rights
Join their side
They take the young
To join their side, assimilate
No place to run
They're at your doorstep
Your family cries
Pulled out their guns and shot them dead
Your last goodbye
(They take the young, they take the young)
(With loaded guns, with loaded guns)
(No place to run, no place to run)
(It just begun, it just begun)
Oh oh oh
Oh the academy
Oh oh oh
They're always watching me
Oh oh oh
Wish it was just a dream
But lord you just can't sleep
In the academy
In the academy
You're six years old
You gotta learn to pull the trigger
Or they'll break your nose
They're always watching
Your every move
They beat you down and break your spirit
'Til it buries you
(Yeah truth be told, yeah truth be told)
(The story goes, the story goes)
(At six years old, at six years old)
(They'll break your nose, they'll break your nose)
They pin you down
And feed you lies
Stripped of your rights
To join their side
They'll shoot you
Right between the eyes
If you resist
So don't blink twice
Pin you down
Feed you lies
Stripped your rights
Join their side
