They're taught to tell the truth
They're taught to force a smile
They lead us down the 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'll never be 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

And then we point them to the strings
Convinced us they're together
By the paper and the ring

That 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

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
