Litany Of Lies


They said I could be
Who I wanted to be
Then said who I could be
Said they knew best for me

They said I should be
What I wanted to be
Then said what that would be
Said they knew best for me

They said I could say
What I wanted to say
Then said what I could say
Said that it’s better this way

They said I was free
In the land of the free
Then told me how free
That they knew best for me

I was told who to be
I was told how to be
I was told what to be
And how I was still free

Ask who but not why
Ask how but not why
Ask what but not why
Dare not tarnish the lie
