Did they call you names
When you took the blame?
Treat you just the same
As any old fool?
Did you play along?
Sing that siren's song?
Say there's nothing wrong
With being cool?
Well, the things I know are hallowed
Make me feel so dutiful
And the things I know are shallow
Make me feel so beautiful
When they touch your face
Can you differentiate
Between the love and hate
That you must feel?
Just direct your feet
Down that one-way street
Away from all the friends you cheat
Away from me
The things I know are hallowed
Make me feel so dutiful
And the things I know are shallow
Make me feel so beautiful
Oh, oh oh oh...
