Our schools teach us the facts
But not to use our minds
Memorise the facts, don't answer back
Whatever you do

Let's teach
Our children
How to use their minds
'Cause wisdom
Is knowledge
That must be applied

When I was sixteen I didn't have a clue who I was
Is it any surprise our young don't know what to do?

Let's teach
Our children
How to use their minds
'Cause wisdom
Is knowledge
That must be applied

Our world has technology
Yet billions starve without food
Governments of the people
Act only in self-interest

Let's teach
Our children
How to use their minds
'Cause wisdom
Is knowledge
That must be applied
