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...
We have the key You'll be you and I'll be me We have the key 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...
We have the key You'll be you and I'll be me We have the key You'll be you and I'll be me
