Be yourself
Be yourself
We needed a tutor
So built a computer
And programmed ourselves not to see
The truth and the lying
The dead and the dying
A silent majority
Don't theorize
Look in their eyes
Are they telling lies
The ones that they learn on T.V.
What a way to be free
Be yourself
Be yourself
Then you can free yourself
Free yourself
See yourself
Then you can see yourself
Come on and see yourself
See yourself

G Cadd9 G Cadd9

How does it feel

When life doesn't seem real

F G Cadd9

And you're floating about on your own

Your life seems uncertain

So you draw the curtain

F G

Pretending there's nobody home

Don't theorize

Look in your eyes

They can't tell lies

Though you may disguise what you see

A D D(sus4) D D

(add9)

The mirror is free

We once had a savior

But by our behavior

F G Cadd9

The one that was worth it is gone

Song birds are talking

And runners are walking

F G

A prodigal son's coming home

Don't theorize

Look in his eyes

They won't tell lies

But if he defies what you see

A D D(sus4) D D

We needed a tutor

So built a computer

And programmed ourselves not to see

The truth and the lying

The dead and the dying

A silent majority

Don't theorize

Look in their eyes

Are they telling lies

The ones that they learn on T.V.

What a way to be free

Be yourself

Then you can free yourself

Free yourself

See yourself

Then you can see yourself

Come on and see yourself
