Intro: In the hearts of men, in the arms of mothers In the parts we play to convince others We know what we're doing, we're doing it right May have written books on the subject, but then you may still be surprised By your tone over the phone, to your sister while waiting in line At the shopping mall just outside of town Oh-hoo, oh-hoo, oh-hoo... Oooh (Same chords as the last verse) In the hands of teachers, in the books you read The things we say when we've lost the lead I still try to speak up, when my voice won't make a sound And I thought it all over too many times When there is no use, and the lights are all out I just give it up, and I walk home Past the shopping mall that's just closing... Down Oh-hoo, laa-da-da-da Oh-hoo, laa-da-da-da Oh-hoo... Oooh (2x) We tell yourself you are must be what you be Who's to say who is who and what is what if you simply don't agree, now Time will come to claim you, and it will have its way Don't make no mistakes and don't regret Don't waste the time that is left And then do it all... With a goddamn smile Laa-la-la, laa-la-la Laa-la-la, laa-la-la Laa-la-la... Laa-ah-aah... (2x) In the hearts of men, in the arms of mothers In the parts we play to convince others End:
