As we're told

This side I show
But which side is me
Lost somewhere in between
There's a price you pay for living
She had a boy
Couldn't make him grow
Saw the truth in his eyes
Filled him full
Made him one of her own

Young and old
We do as we're told
You believe it
But can't comprehend
When your life ends
Same way that it began
You get what you deserve

This man you see
But which man is me
Who am I supposed to be
I take a piece of everything I'm given
It all seems so far away
But you can count the days

Young and old
We do as we're told
You believe it
But can't comprehend
When your life ends
Same way that it began
You get what you deserve
You get what you deserve
