A privilege,
money and inheritance.
What's in the bottom stays below.
There are no chances,
hopeless, no relevance
aspirations lost long ago.
In violence,
powerless,
desperately clinging.
Abandoned by society,
and rejected by the top.
Denied the things
that could change a living.
Pushed to the brink
and then thrown to the dogs.
The education you get may not be the best
Your teachers may always be stressed
this classroom forever a mess
And you are feeling oppressed,
since you have not progressed.
You've got to pass that test.
that fear deep in your chest
the issues still not addressed
all those protests you repressed.
Even if you don't rest,
you'll never be the best
they won't ever be impressed,
will they?
Rooting while others thrive.
succeeding at the cost of lives.
Inequality, injustice,
more of a business than a right.
Kept away from technology,
in the violence drowned,
muted by the tiredness
dealing with the quietness
Given no importance
there's no opportunity
learning is progress
and there's none of that in this community.
The education you get may not be the best
Your teachers may always be stressed
this classroom forever a mess
And you are feeling oppressed,
since you have not progressed.
You've got to pass that test
that fear deep in your chest
the issues still not addressed
all those protests you repressed.
Even if you don't rest,
you'll never be the best
they won't ever be impressed,
will they?
This music video was made by Isabella Mendoza,
Valentina Caceres and Maria Camila with the purpose of
showing differents perspectives that people have about
education, taking into account the social gap in between.
In the first three stanzas are from the point of view of
the ones who can't pay for education, and because of
that, they feel abandoned by society, or in more poetical
words "thrown to the dogs", with no opportunities to
aspire to have a better life.
Meanwhile, in the chorus the song changes to the
perspective of the students that feel pressed to pass
school with good grades but that, even if they dedicate
themselves to it, they won't be able to satisfy their
parents and teachers expectations, feeling as if they hadn't progressed.
The next stanza explains the injustice in the roles of the
proletariat and the capitalist; the need of the executive
to pass over others in order to prosper, implying that
education is more like a business to get power than a right.
Finally in the eighth and ninth stanza, the song goes
back to explain the perspective of not being able to
have access to technology in order to learn, advance in
life, and escape from violence and those repressing circumstances.
