See public schools with names like robert e. lee Want you not to see those living less fortunately Such petty exhibitionism is all they really wanted from me Instilling in me with a crippling need to succeed Such brash exhibitionism is all they wanted from me They said "you deserve it because you've lived comfortably" Obsolescent white bread schools bred conceit Into innocent beings They said "just show off and show us a college degree" Such petty exhibitionism is all they really wanted from me Instilling in me a crippling need to succeed Such brash exhibitionism is all they wanted from me They said "you deserve it because you've lived comfortably"
