Depeche Mode

You've been kept down

You've been pushed 'round

You've been lied to

You've been fed truths

Who's making your decisions?

You or your religion

Your government, your countries

You patriotic junkies

So lie to me

But do it with sincerity.

Make me listen

Just for a minute,

Make me think

There's some truth in it.

All my useless advice

All my hanging around

All your cutting down to size

All my bringing you down

All your stupid ideals

Got your head in the clouds

You should see how it feels

With your feet on the ground

Take my body and soul

I feel so old

Vows are spoken,

To be broken.

Feelings are intense,

Words are trivial.

Pleasures remain,

So does the pain,

Words are meaningless

And forgettable.

I just hang on

Suffer well

Sometimes it's hard

It's hard to tell
