Intro

We're taught to tell the truth

But yet we're taught to force a smile

They lead us down a road

But they can only see a mile

We only see what they want us to see

We only see what they want us to see

They line us up in uniforms

And tell us not to feel

They've never been to heaven

But they tell us that it's real

They only see what they wanna see

They only see what they wanna see

We watch them pray

Down on their knees

'Cause that's the way that they were taught to be

And thanks to them, we can be free

Thanks to them...

You'll be you and I'll be me

They say that they're not puppets

Then we point them to the strings

Convinced they'll stay together

By the paper and the ring

But they can't see what we want them to see

They just can't see what we want them to see

So tell me all your secrets

and I'll tell you all my fears

'Cause if we knock these walls down

We might know why we're here

We watch them pray

Down on their knees

'Cause that's the way that they were taught to be

And thanks to them, we can be free

Thanks to them...

You'll be you and I'll be me

We watch them pray

Down on their knees

'Cause that's the way that they were taught to be

They just can't see

You'll be you and I'll be me
