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
(hold)
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
(hold)
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
(hold)
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
We watch them pray
Down on their knees
Cause that s the way that they were taught to be
They just can t see
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
