Imposed their limitations
Boundaries on what they set for you
Chose the situations
They wanted to be right for you
Locked in their perceptions
Of everything you thought was true
But it's not you

Don't know what you want
Don't know what you've got
You can't stand up (without a backbone)
You can't stand up

Followed their directions
Decisions already made for you
Led by their suggestions
Shown the path you should pursue
Obeyed their regulations
Did everything you're supposed to do
But it's not you

Don't know what you want
Don't know what you've got
You can't stand up (without a backbone)
You can't stand up

Always done what you've been told
Bought the stories you've been sold
You can't stand up without a backbone

Don't know what you want
Don't know what you've got
You can't stand up (without a backbone)
You can't stand up
