What did you learn in school today, my fair-haired son
What were you taught about the world today, my silky-haired daughter
That there are more people than just brother, sister, mom and dad
Humans just like you and me, some are hungry and some are full
And that the world is scarily vast and how many dangers await there
And that that behind many warm smile is actually a cold and devious soul
And I didn't like learning how many wars there are in the world
That there are millions of children without homes as people are taught to hate each other
What did you learn in school today, my fair-haired son
What were you taught about the world today, my daughter with silky hair
That our Father Lord made the Earth and human made all the laws
And by them it's allowed to destroy nature, animals and even me too
And that the most admirable virtues are greediness, ignorance and selfishness
And that the most horrible sins are love, good will and friendliness
And I didn't like learning how many wars there are in the world
That there are millions of children without homes as people are taught to hate each other
What did you learn in school today, my fair-haired son
What were you taught about the world today, my daughter with silky hair
That there's another world that's free from the shackles of beliefs
Pure from the lies of truths, I'm speaking of actual freedom
And there will be a time when innocent won't suffer from injustice
Evil people will only destroy themselves because the law of planets feels no mercy
But I didn't like learning how many wars there are in the world
That there are millions of children without homes as people are taught to hate each other
