Why would they tell me to please those

A5 G#5 A5 D5

That laugh in my face

B5 C#5 D5

When all of the reasons they've taught us

A5 G#5 A5 D5

Fall over themselves to give way

Em Eb C#

It's not a question whether my heart is true

Em Eb C#

Streamlined, I had to pull through

Look for a new

Beginning on you

to deny your name

B5 C#5 D5

Where would you go if I told you
