[Verse 1]
I have been told about the miracles of men
I wasn't told if they were happy and well
I have been told about development in these cities
I wasn't told about the slums and all the misery

[Chorus]
I tell you, you tell me
The same old stories on repeat

[Verse 2]
I have been told about the king and all of his deeds
I wasn't told about the common folk and the weak
I have been told about the temples and the bridge at sea
I wasn't told about demolitions and the bigotry

I could show you how we're swayеd to make believе
When the press is bought out and I can't breathe
I can see the bigotry

[Chorus]
But I tell you, you tell three
The same old stories on repeat

[Verse 3]
I have been told about religion and society
I wasn't told about centuries of brutality
I have been told about inventions and discoveries
I wasn't told about plants, birds and the trees

I could show you how we're swayed to make believe
When the press is bought out and I can't breathe
I can see the bigotry

[Bridge]
The show is not what we're here to see
Packaged smiles, whitened teeth
With promises and the fake pleas

[Chorus]
So I tell you, you tell three
The same old stories don’t repeat
