Expectations Guaranteed Lyrics

You taught in school the creed of fools

A litany of lies and rules

Fed your history, verse and song

Your version of what's right and wrong

How we never would be slaves

White was right and Jesus saves

You sowed the seeds to propagate

Your mission to indoctrinate

Deliberately you primed and stoked

The young whose minds with weeds you choked

Your will imposed, your plan invoked

You made their lives a cruel joke

Held as hostage to their times

Their dreams all withered on the vine

Along with all the hearts you broke

With promises and lies you spoke

Hanging on your every word

You sent them out into the world

Intentions primed, beliefs enshrined

Embedded in their hearts and minds

They took their place, the damage done

Believing that their time had come

Until, when shackled to their lot

They learned who really called the shots

They fought your wars, obeyed your laws

Imposed your will on foreign shores

Filled your factories, mills and mines

Buckled down and toed the line

All to benefit the few

Who claimed the prize and then withdrew

The promises they'd made in lieu

Then sold them down the river

An empire built on heroes graves

Genocide, theft and slaves

Saw plunder from across the waves

Delivered to entitled knaves

They reaped the wealth and power gained

By those they held in deep distain

Then with contempt and lack of grace

Kept them firmly in their place

They say an accident of birth

Can lead to fortune, fame and worth

Or condemn you to a fate

Designed to incapacitate

The privileged, arrogant, aloof

Stood before them, living proof

The old school tie is all you need

For expectations guaranteed
