The way you see things through your eyes

To you is truth and controls your life

Stand around and preach, your head keeps growin'

But you won't change how my life's goin'

I'm gonna decide for myself

I won't leave it to somebody else

The way I see things through my eyes

To me is truth and controls my life

Different people preach, yeah, the winds still blowin'

But you won't change how my life's goin'

I'm gonna decide for myself

I won't leave it to somebody else

Well, I'm gonna decide for myself

I won't leave it with somebody else

You have spoke and you've been heard

And you've thrown around many words

You talk down and you talk at

While tryin' to present your facts

You talk to people like they're clay

But I won't listen to what you say

In the name of righteousness and your better way to live

You're unhappy, you're so uptight

Full of yourself, you don't know it, oh

The way you see things through your eyes

Ain't the way we wanna live our lives

Stand around and preach, your mouths overflowin'

You should change how your life's goin'
