They tell you.

They tell you that you'll never do anything

say your not worth the fight

They say to keep In your lane

You'll never get the chance to change

They tell you to fall in line

March to the same beet and to the same time

They tell you its their world you live in

like its a privilege to be living

They tell you to act the same

I tell you.. to .forget what they tell you.

I hured this on the news the other day

a small girl tuck her life away

Because she had a skip in her step

and didn't followed the rest

They told her she wasn't cool

Made her look like a foul

She said she had enough

Like the world was to tuff

So in her last final words

she showed the world how bad it

do you see how your words **** the kids with worth

Because they believe in the lie

Feel like its their time

When the world could be so much better

If that girl never wrote that letter

They tell you to fall in line

they tell you that you'll be fine

if you'll just follow suet

Forget the girl that knew

that not everyone is the same

Life's not meant to be lived that way

But oh well they'll tell you

like its your job to follow

Like you have to obey

the rules make everyone the same

and that if you just step away

the entire world will brake

forget those words

forget what they tell you

If you need me I will protect you
