for beginning to end, from one to ten

from bed to school, teaching us to be fools

you say don't look up i close my eyes

you told me to shut up i shut my mouth

but now it's over


for beginning to end, for ten to twenty

being a cop or joining the army

is that the only thing you want for me?


don't wait for me, i won't waste my time

you shown me the line not to cross

then you sent me your god and his cross

you said don't look up i close my eyes

you told me to shut up i shut my mouth

you said don't look up, now it's over
