Strum
D-DU-UDU
Why  do you  stare
 do you think  that  I care?
You've  been  mislead
 By the thoughts in  your head
Your  words  waste  and decay
Nothing  you say
 ( )
 Reaches my ears anyway
 You never spoke a  word of truth
Why  do you  think
 I believe  what you  said
Few  of your  words
 Ever enter  my head
I'm  tired  of living  with freaks?
With  tongues in their  cheeks
 ( )
 Turning their eyes as they speak
 They make me sick  and tired
 (Chorus)
Are  you  confused  To the point  in  your mind Though  you're blind
Can't  you see you're  wrong
Won't  you  refuse  To be used  Even  though you  may know
 Mim Sim
 I can see you're wrong
Please,  please,  please open  your  eyes
Please,  please,  please don't  give  me lies
I've  rode  all of  the earth
Witnessed  my birth
 ( )
 Cried at the sight of a man
 And still I don't  know who I am
