As We're Told

This side i show
But which side is me
Lost somewhere in between
There's a price you pay for living
She had a boy
Couldn't make him grow
Saw the truth in his eyes
Filled him full of shit
Made him one of her own
Young and old
We do as we're told
As we're told

You believe it
But can't comprehend
When your life ends
Same why that it began
You get what you deserve
This man you see
But which man is me
Who am i supposed to be
I take a piece of everything i'm given
It all seems so far away
But you can count the day
