We're taught to tell the truth

But yet we're taught to force a smile
     AmThey (x02210@1)lead us down a road

But they can only see a mile
       FWe (133211@1)only see what they want us to see
        CWe (x32010@1)only see what they want us to see

C (x32010@1)They line us up in uniforms

And tell us not to feel
        AmThey've (x02210@1)never been to heaven

But they tell us that it's real
          FThey (133211@1)only see what they wanna see
          CThey (x32010@1)only see what they wanna see

FWe (133211@1)watch them pray
              GDown (320003@1)on their knees
       Em (022000@1)                                    Am'Cause (x02210@1)that's the way that they were taught to be
              F (133211@1)      GAnd (320003@1)thanks to them, we can be free
           F (133211@1)      G(hold) (320003@1)Thanks to them...

F (133211@1)  G (320003@1)  AmWe (x02210@1)have the key---------
          F (133211@1)     G (320003@1)    AmYou'll (x02210@1)be you and I'll be me

C (x32010@1)    
They say that they're not puppets

Then we point them to the strings
   AmConvinced (x02210@1)they'll stay together

By the paper and the ring
               FBut (133211@1)they can't see what we want them to see
                CThey (x32010@1)just can't see what we want them to see

C (x32010@1)
So tell me all your secrets

and I'll tell you all my fears
       Am'Cause (x02210@1)if we knock these walls down 
    Am (hold)
We might know why we're here

FWe (133211@1)watch them pray
