[Verse 1]
Mental blindfolds on
Early on the fascination intense
How to discern just where right belongs

[Chorus]
Something has got to give
These things I just don't want you to see

[Verse 2]
There is no need for you to start revolutions
I don't want you to talk to the minions
Just show me a brand new face
An open mind against a dying race

[Chorus]
Something has got to give
These things I just don't want you to hear

[Chorus]
Something has got to give
These things I just don't want you to feel

[Verse 3]
Cannot fail in this the era of losers
Burnt the shell of those that once held the torches
Cannot give you the senses anew
Nor will you know innocence again
[Chorus]
Something has got to give
These things I just don't want you to know

[Bridge]
In time all your questions will be answered
Not what you hoped for, not what you dreamed
All preconceptions crumble

[Chorus]
Something has got to give
These things I just don't want you to learn

[Verse 4]
Won't hold up to the standards you keep
Never came from the formative years
Just show me a brand new mind
Keep in what you left behind

[Chorus]
Something has got to give
These things I just don't want you to be
