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
