R Way Lyrics
What an education, tell them how we tell it r way
What a situation, tell them how we tell it r way
You down with rebelution? Tell them how we tell it r way
Who makes the rules everyday?
I say we tell them how we tell it r way
I'm talking about intelligent design, cuz this should be the last sign
You fool the people but the youth are on the rise, rebels on the prowl in disguise
Unquestioned regulation my friend, patriots long been in the skies, looking over lies
Let us fight, light the night
Now think of children because their life's like a fragile mind
Flip the hook, catch the bait, separate church and state
Oh at the end of their day, they lie awake in bed and thinking they're great
Tomorrow comes and they'll regret what they say
The youth ain't learning in the right way
Oh at the end of their day, they lie awake in bed and thinking they're great
Tomorrow comes and they will regret what they say
The youth ain't learning in the right way
What a revelation oh how they say, but what an aggravation oh how I say
Cuz you know they shouldn't be learning about that in school
Well you say I'm the one, but I know who's the fool
What an education
What a situation
You down with Rebelution? Tell them how we tell it r way
Who makes the rules everyday?
I say we tell them how we tell it r way
I'm talking about intelligent design, cuz this should be the last sign
You fool the people but the youth are on the rise, rebels on the prowl in disguise
Unquestioned regulation my friend, patriots long been in the skies, looking over lies
Let us fight, light the night
Now think of children because their life's like a fragile mind
Flip the hook, catch the bait, separate church and state
Oh at the end of their day, they lie awake in bed and thinking they're great
Tomorrow comes and they will regret what they say
The youth ain't learning in the right way
Oh at the end of their day, they lie awake in bed and thinking they're great
Those politicians well they say what they say
But the youth aint learning in the right way
What a revelation oh how they say, but what an aggravation oh how I say
Cuz you know they shouldn't be learning about that in school
Well you say I'm the one, but I know who's the fool
What a situation, tell them how we tell it r way
You down with rebelution? Tell them how we tell it r way

I think this song is about the gov. and politics vs. the people. Lets live R way; not their way.
@JonClayton It seems pretty clear that it is about separation of church and state. Specifically, it is speaking against the teaching of intelligent design to the youth.

They are telling the story of how the youth grow up in today's society.
With the sudden influx of connected devices, the youth have a voice all over the world, but at what cost?
They mention intelligent design and the separation of church and state. I think they are athiests, and I think they're saying that the kids shouldn't be taught creationism in school. I hope so because then I have even more reasons to like this band. Off the top of my head, I can't remember if their other lyrics discuss religion. I could be way off, but there's too many parallels to ignore this possibility.
@msm2695 obviously its the opposite. Just because they are stoners and most pot heads are atheists, that doesn't mean that they are atheists. In fact, because they are a reggae band, its more likely that they are creationists, as Rastafarianism is a form of Judaism. They often praise "Jah" and "the most high" which are references to God Jahova of the bible. They are probably political leftists to some degree and support separation of church and state, but that doesn't mean that they aren't creationists. The reference to separation of church and state is probably a dig at evolution being...

The reference to separation of church and state is probably a dig at evolution being a religion taught in schools since there is no proof of it and is just a theory, which is erroneously being pushed as a fact in every public school in the country. Evolutionism is more like a religious cult that a scientific field of study and what public school do you know of that teaches creation and not evolution? The reference to the patriots in the sky confirms this because its likely that they are talking about the dead soldiers in heaven who died for this country to keep it a free nation under God. Most patriots, especially soldiers, are upset about evolution being taught. And the way Reb talks about the youth growing up and how the teachers will regret it must be a reference to communism amd how destructive and how oppressive it is. Every communist regime in history was established and ran by atheists! When God is removed from the equation then anything goes. No morals plus no rights equals no laws to protect the citizens from tyrants. There are no such thing as human rights without creation. Creation itself is what gives our lives meaning purpose and value. If God doesn't exist then neither do our rights as our rights are rooted in that value, purpose and meaning of life. A godless system over a godless population is a tyrant's wet dream. That's why they put leftists teachers in public schools and push both evolution and socialism. They want a bunch of godless, mindless zombies who just want free stuff so they can plunder the rich and middle class without consequences. They use poor people to steal from other rich people. Oldest trick in the book. Not every reggae band is left-wing bro.
