Where's the school for those who do not want to go to school? How do you keep safe those who do not believe in authority? How does one who is never understood get to ventilate? How do you fill the void but not know what's missing? How do the original protect themselves in a world of angry imitation" Tell me when, when will curiosity be safe again? Tell me when! Fuck you.. fuck you, it's our time now!
