Album: This will make you happy
I was born, born in a cage with a hidden key
I was taught, taught to distort, not how to see
The only lesson to learn is how to set yourself free
CHORUS:
Sometimes you gotta turn your eye
Sometimes you gotta do the dance
But I don't wear no suit and tie
and I still don't shake the hand of the man
I was placed in a box and taught how to learn
I was told not to speak, speak out of turn
I was warned about fire and how I might get burned
if I played a little too close
If there's any single thing that I have learned
It's that you gotta be true to yourself
I see the sights once or twice, but not lost mine
I've been around but not ground down
GUITAR SOLO
I still don't shake the hand of the man
They said, "Memorize this, and we'll let you leave,
but don't blame us if you still can't read.
You can close your eyes and let someone lead.
