I just do what i'm told,
And hope that the words from these pages can save my soul
I just do what i'm told,
So i close my eyes and imagine these streets of gold

Tell me how you can see
What it is you see
Cause maybe then i could believe,
In the in-between

I've spent all of my life
Trying to somehow make sense
Of a world i could never explain
I don't try anymore like i did
I'm just doing the best that i can

I just do what i'm told,
The doctors hang over my body while speaking in tongues
I just do what i'm told,
So i let them poison my veins so that i can grow old

Well i'm old enough now i can see
That time doesn't change a thing
We're all piecing together a dream
We've never seen

I've spent all of my life
Trying to somehow make sense
Of a world i could never explain
I don't try anymore like i did
I'm just doing the best that i can

I just do what i'm told
We just do what were told

I've spent all of my life
Trying to somehow make sense
Of a world i could never explain
I don't try anymore like i did

I've spent all of my life
Trying to somehow make sense
Of a world i could never explain

I don't try anymore like i did
I don't try anymore i once did
I'm just doing the best that i can
