I'm a second generation middle class dropout
I [really something] society but I feel like I'm locked out My mum read books and I read comics I went to school but I learned nothing from it I grew up in the 1970s My parents got divorced when I was three At school, I got three meals every day because in those days Britain had a welfare state My mum's boyfriend and my older brother used to have discussions with one another they'd discuss Karl Marx at the dinner table I'd try to understand but I wasn't able I grew up in the 1970s... And now I'm older I realize My mum undertood about real life because you shouldn't have to work when you're a single mother I wonder if my mom was [exploiting] labor Jesus taught me nothing but my mum taught me one golden rule: Don't let the system play you for a fool |
