about

This is a track written and recorded by Dave Farrell and myself. This one is NOT AVAILABLE on my START album. The song is a slow rock tune with a big chorus. The lyrics deal with being forced to conform and how, even when we try to resist, we sometimes get pulled in.

lyrics

All of my lifetime
“They’ve” been telling me
I’m on the wrong road

“You should be walking where we walk
You should be helping us to carry our load”

That’s ok I’ll be alright
I’ll get there in my own way
But hey, thanks for asking
I just don’t wanna be a part of your "They"

You’re gonna get what’s good for you
And It is cuz We say it is
We’re gonna fix what’s wrong with you
And it’s wrong cuz We say it is

I’ll walk on…

Just take what "They" hand you
Don’t look for answers
That you don’t wanna know

It’s always there like a spotlight
Exposing you as someone you’re not
Just shield your eyes and keep walking
Or "They'll" treat you like you’re something They bought

You’re gonna get what’s good for you
And It is cuz we say it is
We’re gonna fix what’s wrong with you
And it’s wrong cuz we say it is

Now if you don’t pay attention
One little slip could mean
"They'll" get in your head

Then you’ll be walking like "They" walk
Imagine that, you’re so easily led

"That’s ok you’ll be alright
You’ll now get there in our own way
But hey, thanks for playin’
Welcome, now you’re part of our "They""

You’re gonna get what’s good for you
And It is cuz we say it is
We’re gonna fix what’s wrong with you
And it’s wrong cuz we say it is

Yeah,
You’re gonna get what’s good for you
And It is cuz we say it is
We’re gonna fix what’s wrong with you
And it’s wrong cuz we say it is
