They folded your hands
You learn to obey
You learn when to sit
When to stand
When to pray
Until the band begins to play
The time of man has come now form a line
You’ve been convicted, tried
So step aside
You’re already headed for the fire
There’s no running away
You gotta have faith
Your crooked robes can’t hide the darkness that lurks inside
Such great hypocrisy can’t be denied
You’re a tear in an ocean
You’re afraid and you’re pleading for something right
They stole all you knew of something better
Now keeping numb is all you’re after
A dull ache in place of ringing laughter
