Education, fornication, in you are, Go,
Education, subjugation, now you're out, Go,
Education, fornication, in you are, Go,
Don't be late for school again boy

I think me, I want life,
I think me, I want a house and a wife,
I want to shimmy- shimmy- shimmy through the break of dawn, yeah.

Education, fornication, in you are, Go,
Education, subjugation, now you're out, Go,
Education, fornication, in you are, Go,
Don't be late for school again girl

I think me, I want life,
I think me, I want a house and a wife,
I want to shimmy- shimmy- shimmy through the break of dawn, yeah.
I think me, I want life,
I think me, I want a house and a wife,
I want to shimmy- shimmy- shimmy through the break of dawn, yeah.

Indoctrination, of a nation,
Indoctrination of a nation,
Subjugation of damnation,
Subjugation of damna?

Don't be late for school again boy,
Don't be late for school again girl,
Don't be late for school again boy,
Don't be late for school again girl.

63 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Shimmy wow this is a great song, among all the rest on Toxicity I could talk about them all night. First of all I like the fast beat that they give it and the way they incooperate the instuments. I would have to say this is up there on my scale.

23 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal This is an odd song, possibly due to the fact that it's the only one that only Serj Tankian and not Daron Malakian produced. I guess.

29 posts	my favorite song off the whole album. it's like one of those songs you listen to with head phones on and it's just not load enough so you keep turning the volume up. then everyone around you is like, "dude, what are you listening to?" and then they are like, "oh hell yeah system! turn that shit up!"

3 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Great song. When I first downloaded the album, I was rly annoyed coz I knew i recognized this song, but didnt know where...anyway to end my mindless ramblings today I found out that this song is featured in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4, it suits the game well IMO....this song is possibly my fave off the album, just coz its so easy to listen to.
