Lyrics Room 223 - Adolescents

Room 223

Today’s lesson in civics at
Walt Whitman High
Come to school locked and loaded
At the Altar of the Gun, testify
Junior in the grandstand Sweet M-16
(Room 223)
Running late, can’t hesitate
You know what I mean
(Room 223)
Dixon armed to teeth in a bullet-proof vest
(Room 223)
No hesitation, pull the pin
Put your Right to Kill at rest
Want easy action?
Public education isn’t free
Kids fight for the right
To die in American democracy
Junior in the grandstand Sweet M-16
(Room 223)
Running late, can’t hesitate
You know what I mean
(Room 223)
Dixon armed to teeth in a bullet-proof vest
(Room 223)
No hesitation, pull the pin
Put your Right to Kill at rest
Another wide eyed boy from Babylon
Wants to top the maximum score
Nineteen and counting
Levels up, then shoots some more
Scratch your head and ask yourself
Is this what it means to be free?
Want easy action?
Public education isn’t free
Kids fight for the right
To die in American democracy
