You'll bruise their hearts, child   You'll live their lives   You'll fill their shoes, child   You'll still be right      You'll speak your words, child   You're still naive   You'll tell your lies, child   They'll still believe      All you've ever said about them   It was never right   Has all you've learned here been forgotten?   You're the perfect light      Don't strain your head, child   Thinking for them   Don't place the blame, child   Your time will come      All you've ever thought about them   It was never right   Your open mind is sealed and settled   Locked and bolted tight      All you've lived is moments   In a fraction of their lives   It's sad you never notice   When the stick is in your eye      You'll throw your stones, child   You'll never bleed      All you've ever said about them   It was never right   And all you've ever thought about them   It was never right      The bleeding hearts and artists painted   Meanings in their songs   And all the little children lost their minds   And sang along, yeah      All that you said wasn't true   All that you said wasn't true
