[Verse 1]

Mental blindfolds on

Early on the fascination intense

How to discern just where right belongs

[Chorus]

Something has got to give

These things I just don't want you to see

[Verse 2]

There is no need for you to start revolutions

I don't want you to talk to the minions

Just show me a brand new face

An open mind against a dying race

[Chorus]

Something has got to give

These things I just don't want you to hear

[Chorus]

Something has got to give

These things I just don't want you to feel

[Verse 3]

Cannot fail in this the era of losers

Burnt the shell of those that once held the torches

Cannot give you the senses anew

Nor will you know innocence again

[Chorus]

Something has got to give

These things I just don't want you to know

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]

In time all your questions will be answered

Not what you hoped for, not what you dreamed

All preconceptions crumble

[Chorus]

Something has got to give

These things I just don't want you to learn

[Verse 4]

Won't hold up to the standards you keep

Never came from the formative years

Just show me a brand new mind

Keep in what you left behind

[Chorus]

Something has got to give

These things I just don't want you to be
