What Were Told
We are told that we should fall in line, but
(we don’t want to, we don’t want to).
We are told that we should be on time, but.
We are told to work the 9-5,
We are told to forget the lies,

No one could have told you, life was going to be this way,
(Gotta take your meds, gotta wake up on time).
No one’s gonna hold your hand and tell you what to say.
(Gotta carry on, carry on).
Hold on don’t screw it up, come on don’t mess it up,
(but I cant sleep, and I feel weak).
This may be your only chance to pull it out.
Got to take this mess and build the memories.

We are told that just where to draw the line, but
(we don’t want to, we don’t want to).
Abide father time, abide father time,
We are told what we are told, but we say
(FU), we say (FU).
I am told to listen to you and
(I don’t want to, we don’t want to).

…and here we find ourselves, struggle with now and then,
finding a difference between us and them.
…and we now we see this thing, there is something that we bring,
are we part of the whole, or just the in-betweens?
And here we see this thing, what is it that you bring?

We are told that we should get along.
We are told that we should carry on.
Call it a short fuse. Call it impatience.
These are the days we must embrace.
Nothing but good times, while life is spacious.
These are the days we must embrace.

Here we are now, we know how to fall in line.
(You’ve got to fall in line now).
See me now working the 9-5.
(But I cant sleep. I cant sleep).
What we’ve been told, it’s exactly what we do.
(Take your medicine son).
See you later boys, I’ll be back after school.

We need play time and we need more sleep.
We want to stay when we’re told to leave.

The goals that are set, are they ours or theirs?
We climb the ladder, we climb the stairs.
At times we feel forced, at times we’re scared.
These days are short and they are not many.
These are the days we must embrace.
