lyrics

He knew the beauty of language and rhyme
He wrote lyrics upon his wall
He dreamt himself the savior paradigm
Dream logic leaves its mark on us all

School should be fun; for some school is Hell
Gazing eyes, classrooms prisons of doubt
They knew he was off; they knew he wasn’t well
They tried and they tried and never figured it out

Let me tell ya what they said:
His momma said, “He need Jesus”
His poppa said, “He needs a kick in the head”
His doctor said, “It’s mental illness”
“It’s late capitalism,” the radicals said

“It’s always the quiet ones,” they say,
Hostile to those who choose silence
It’s a self-fulfilling prophecy
When we equate silence with violence

Will you answer the Question (when he calls)?
Will you answer the Question (when he calls)?
(When he calls)

And the Hell that is school can steal your soul
And your thoughts can turn first to fire, then ash
If you hear the children crying when they call roll
And you see the missiles flying when you’re going to class

Let me tell ya what they said:
His momma said, “He need Jesus”
His poppa said, “He needs a kick in the head”
His doctor said, “It’s mental illness”
“It’s toxic masculinity,” the radicals said

Will you answer the Question (when he calls)?
Will you answer the Question (when he calls)?
(When he calls)
