tell yourself

i know what you tell yourself

you tell yourself. look in the mirror

look in the mirror what does it show?

i hear you counting

i know you're adding. adding up the score. i know

oh yes i know what you tell yourself

tell yourself. ever since eden we're built for pleasing everyone knows

and ever since adam cracked his ribs and let us go

i know

oh yes i know what you tell yourself

tell yourself

who taught you how to lie so well

and to believe in each and every word you say?

who told you that nothing about you is alright

it's just no use

it's just no good you'll never be o.k.?

well i know

i know that wrong's been done to you

it's such a tough world
