A Beautiful Lie

It's a beautiful lie
A beautiful lie
They teach us all how to survive
The box and its lights
It's telling us that everything's alright
Then it leads us by the hand
And it leaves us out to die

I will not stand
I will not stand
I will not stand to live this lie

Whoa
I will not go
You and your friends follow the yellow brick road
Whoa
I will not go
You and your friends follow the yellow brick road
Without me
See where it leads

She's living a lie
A beautiful lie
She thinks she knows how to survive
She watches the box and its lights
It's telling her that everything's alright
Then they lead her by the hand
And I have to watch her die

I will not stand
I will not stand
I will not stand to let her die

Whoa
I will not go
You and your friends follow the yellow brick road
Whoa
I will not go
You and your friends follow the yellow brick road
Without me
Without me
See where it leads
It leads to a lie

There's always a man behind the curtain
Don't let anybody tell you different
There's always a man behind the curtain
Don't let anybody tell you different

Whoa
I will not go
You and your friends follow the yellow brick road
Without me
