lyrics

They told you you'd never survive
As you crawled from your mother and started to thrive
One step til you feel and you bled
tiny tears by your sire, tiny tears in your bed

Those pretty pictures little lies
They pulled the wool over your eyes
Sold you the story of your life

They taught you to read and to write (against your will)
You're ups from your downs, whats wrong from what's right (stole you away in the night)
One step to the path of success
Shiny job, shiny car, take a trip to forget

Those pretty pictures little lies
They pulled the wool over your eyes
Sold you the story of your life
You tell yourself you'll be alright
Whatever gets you through the night
Whatever makes you feel alright

Doctor I'm hoping you fix me I'm broken
The air has been choking me
They named you a simple fool
Now where's the god you answer to
who wrote down the story of your life

And my soul has been nailed to the floor
I can't take any more oh my darling,
just what did you come here for
What did you come here for?

Those pretty pictures little lies
They pulled the wool over your eyes
Sold you the story of your life
You tell yourself you'll be alright
Whatever gets you through the night
Whatever makes you feel alright..
