Ancient books all crumbled beneath
Towers of the darkest concrete
Shadow in the truth that you owe
Daddy's words just sound so empty
Tired bits of dogma tempting
You to run from all that you know
Said you were leaving
But I said I'll follow
'Till you give a reason to go
Walk on your feet
Ride your bike
Drive your car
You don't care how
You just got to leave this place
Life and then all you've been taught
Pointing fingers all around
We've got so much to blame
Poster child for all that's holy
Picture taken by the police-man
Who knew your mum from highschool
She cried favorite son you are confused
I taught you truth you could use
But you forgot all my rules
Said you were leaving
But I said I'll follow
'Till you give a reason to go
Walk on your feet
Ride your bike
Drive your car
You don't care how
You just got to leave this place
Life and then all you've been taught
Pointing fingers all around
We've got so much to blame
I've got my theories about
Where you've been and where you're going
and I've kept my theories to myself
All of my theories they are paralyzing me from action
I've kept my theories to myself
Walk on your feet
Ride your bike
Drive your car
You don't care how
You just got to leave this place
Life and then all you've been taught
Pointing fingers all around
We've got so much to blame
