Gather round now kids, it's story time. Today we're gonna learn
Criss cross applesauce and you'll be rocking, back and forth
because of the continuous shocking list of books they burned

(Knowledge increases empathy) We will not just stand by
(Knowledge increases empathy) We will stand up for ourselves
(Knowledge increases empathy) With the books that they like
(Knowledge increases empathy) to keep for themselves

They're scared we might indoctrinate. Peddle our beliefs
But if we only teach from the book of glory
they will never know the other side of the story
A lesson incomplete

(Knowledge increases empathy) We will not just stand by
(Knowledge increases empathy) We will stand up for ourselves
(Knowledge increases empathy) With the books that they like
(Knowledge increases empathy) to keep for themselves

They don't like what you know
afraid of what you know
They don't like what you know
