Choice in knowledge
Don't know much about history
don't know much bout biology
the first two lines of a song
referring to our schooltime
We all have experiences in this
there was no escape
by law they have to teach us things
if it's in our interests or maybe
There is no choice in yes or no
you have to because they say so
lots of stuff you learn in there
will be never used again
Or just simply will be forgotten
because there is no space and time
to keep up with all you have learned
we are no computerprogramnerds
With a hard disk to save it all
and if that had been possible
I would have deleted lots
What about your dots?
