  • The normal man, promised all things
    Brought into this, taken by pain
    He mistook home for grave
    The normal man, filtered by hate
    Living to pay, buying what's fake
    He mistook home for grave
    It's not what we're made to be
    So why'd he do it?
    I guess he just did not know

    I guess we just do what we're told
    The anthem cries, but why listen?
    I guess we just do what we're told
    Betrayed again, betrayed again
    What began as life for him was only sorrow, was only shame
    It's like the story of disgrace
    Fraught with peril every day

    So why'd he do it?
    I guess he just did not know
    Given nothing, left so lonesome
    He mistook home for his grave
    It's not what we're made to be
    So breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe
    I guess we just do what we're told
    The anthem cries, but why listen?

    I guess we're just do what we're told
    Betrayed again
    What began as life for him was only sorrow, was only shame
    It's like the story of disgrace
    Fraught with peril every day

    I guess we just do what we're told
    Betrayed again, betrayed again
    I guess we just do what we're told
    The normal man passed away
