I was told: Don't ask too many questions
You know kid, life answers you
What's the point of wanting to know everything
Look up and see what you can see
I was told: You gotta listen to your dad
Mine said nothing when he took off
Mom told me you're too small to understand
And I grew up with a spot to fill
Who's got the right, who's got the right
Who's got the right to do that
To a kid who really believes
What the grown-ups say?
We spend our lives saying thanks
Making it rain or shine
For kids we're lying to
I was told that all men are the same
There are several gods, but only one sun
Yeah but the sun either shines or it burns
You die of thirst or you drink bubbles
I'm sure they've told you stuff too
Great stories, yeah right, just bullsh*t
So now we're out on the road
With our fears, our anxiety and our doubts
Who's got the right, who's got the right
Who's got the right to do that
For kids who really believe
What the grown-ups say?
We spend our lives saying thanks
Making it rain or shine
For kids we're lying to
