'Deltron 3030 Event II' - third track, 'Pay the Price'...
This is basically an audio sci-fi movie, taking place in the year 4010. Funny how similar some elements sound to today's conservatives:

"Okay, when I crash landed on the planet
I damn near couldn't understand it
And they couldn't understand it either
Talking out the side of their neck, it's just theatre

We all know of imposing forces
Existing in space-time, matter coursing
Up or down, right or left, good or bad, black and white, even day and night
Moon and sun, negative and positive
This is one of the first stages of blowing all the mist
To clear the window of perception
Of what is universally right and corrected

Now we are living in an alternate reality
In other words, everything's back which the eyes can see
Information universal laws and lying
The true guideline's actually right or wrong in real time
Yeah (real time not fake time)

Check it out though
Anyway, investigating the surface
On this new planet I bumped into a person
That told me he represents
The link between reality and illusion

Half true to a present, I peep the essence
The prison of biased thought he manifested
I did the knowledge on the true purpose
Providing abbreviated facts to keep the planet in virtue
Controlling times, size, and bias

Dude thought he had the golden touch like Midas
It's like a planet-wide spell was cast
Everyone I asked, accepted the baloney and trash
And it's only a mask
Worn by a character who wants what you have
He thought I bought his ticket to the station
Because beliefs have infinite room for manipulation

Now that be so corny
Universal law is my core link
I wanted to talk more of the people
He said "For what? duh, we all equal"
Everywhere I smell, the place stink
And I told him man, "Seems like y'all gotta think big."
I said introduce deeper concepts
He told me "Hell nah fool, we wouldn't profit!"
What do you mean you wouldn't...?
What do you mean you wouldn't...?
Awww...

Everybody now just pay the price
Everybody now just pay the price
Everybody now just pay the price

Okay, me thinks this stinks o' trickery
Some weak links in the chain of the mystery
Time for that mist to leave
By way of the breeze, flows formed by my speak
Dude obviously made it in the ranks of elite
Who sabotaged history to make it unique?
In aspects of superiority
He said "One for you, more for me"

I see, we ain't really equal
You part of the disagreeable people
Who broke off into a smaller pack
Who were dubbed the hard headed holograms
Ya'll remember that they thought they was all of that
Lost all they had and came crawling back
After that they had more jaw to jack

Said it's our fault calamities were caused, in fact
I had to reiterate, cause he don't believe his negative energy is fake
Nature itself is based on, organized chaos resulted in different states
You want to hide any deficiencies
It's all good, all fair game specifically
I told him "Keep ripping with me"
I'mma kick him in his nuts so hard his heart skips a beat"

Summary: lots of lying, misinformation, projection, and greed.

Note the cartoon accurately pictures 0 students in the library, which I'd guess is about the normal average.

Unless things have really changed, most kids don't spend time in the school libraries ~ well, at least not for reading books.
Funny cuz it's true...my teenage niece had never heard of the Dewey Decimal system, heh.

Where I went to school, we all did internships working in the school library, processing returned books. From about 4th grade on. I admit I haven't been physically to a library in over 20 years. You have to know the Dewey Decimal system to put the books back on the shelves in the right place.
I'm a product of that rated 4th in the country school system. Almost 90% of my graduating class went on to college. I chose not to, because it was not for me, and went on to technical school.

Kinda makes me proud that both of my teenagers volunteer several hours a month at our local library to assist with the many kids programs they have there. My oldest has participated in several battle of the books competitions hosted by our library over the years.

Our library usually has a decent amount of kids in there for one reason or another and teen volunteers. Same goes for the library in the next district over.
