Ever since you were a boy they put you in line
They said there's no truth but you know it's a lie
They threw you in the pool and said learn to swim
'Cause you'll always sink if you don't win
They make you go to church and take your dose
You didn't say yes but you couldn't say so
They told you about the monsters then they left you in the dark
They told you about the fish but they threw you to the shark
They'd tease you at school and they'd tease you at home
And they called you every name and they threw you every stone
They took away your love and they taught you how to hate
Then they'd ask you to their parties and leave you at the gate
You can't live alone but you can't live without
They ask you to be calm but they make you shout
They stuck in school to learn nothing at all
They say keep getting big but they make you feel small
They ask you to be born but they want you to die
They said there's no truth but you know it's a lie
