When you feel left out
And you're unsure why
Will you fall in line
Or will you defy
All the expectations
Got 'em on your head
Will you be a shepherd?
Or will you be a sheep instead?
With his crown of thorns and his pearly whites
Splayed and displayed and for sale
Will we willingly refuse to see
That to live's not complicated
And to love's not complicated
Are we his mistake?
Or could he be ours?
Greed and fear and fraud
Are just like superpowers
They keep the masses quiet
Indolent and slow
Think we know the answers?
We don't know what we don't know
