The best way you know how
But they keep on telling you
That you are not allowed
They say you are sick
That you should hang your head in shame
They are pointing fingers
And want you to take the blame
There are days when people are
So nasty and convincing
They say things beyond belief
That sting and leave you wincing
And to boot, they say their words
Come straight down from above
And they really seem to think
That what they're doing counts as love
[Chorus]
This pain
It is a glacier moving through you
And carving out deep valleys
And creating spectacular landscapes
And nourishing the ground
With precious minerals
And other stuff
So don't you become paralyzed with fear
When things seem particularly rough
Don't you pay them fuckers
As they say "No, never mind"
They don't give two shits about you
It's the blind leading the blind
What they want is commonly referred to as theocracy
And what that boils down to is referred to as hypocrisy
Don't listen to anyone
Get answers on your own
Even if it means that sometimes
You feel quite alone
No one on this planet can tell you what to believe
People like to talk a lot
And they like to deceive
[Chorus x2]
You just want to live your life The best way you know how But they keep on telling you That you are not allowed They say you are sick That you should hang your head in shame They are pointing fingers And want you to take the blame There are days when people are So nasty and convincing They say things beyond belief That sting and leave you wincing And to boot, they say their words Come straight down from above And they really seem to think That what they're doing counts as love [Chorus] This pain It is a glacier moving through you And carving out deep valleys And creating spectacular landscapes And nourishing the ground With precious minerals And other stuff So don't you become paralyzed with fear When things seem particularly rough Don't you pay them fuckers As they say "No, never mind" They don't give two shits about you It's the blind leading the blind What they want is commonly referred to as theocracy And what that boils down to is referred to as hypocrisy Don't listen to anyone Get answers on your own Even if it means that sometimes You feel quite alone No one on this planet can tell you what to believe People like to talk a lot And they like to deceive [Chorus x2] Explain Request ×
