[Verse 1]

Stand up straight just like a man

Be counted with all the rest

Work real hard and graduate

You need a well-deserved good rest

Find a job and find a mate

Settle down in a house in the suburbs

These are dreams they gave to you

I can feel when they're not yours

My skin peels like wallpaper

In the house that we don't go to anymore​

[Verse 2]

Feelings are far too radical

To ever see eye to eye

A mother's son was killed today

Only what she knows is why

Beheaded by hands of so-called faith

Maybe for a chance to live in the sky

Whatever the goal and point they saw it

I don't think that was the way to go about it

They don't see a way around it

[Outro]

Finally, I've come home, slipping off my shoes

Into a land that brings such safety to me
