I'll give you everything you wanted
Just like I wanted
You never did the same
Despite the efforts I gave
All you gave were excuses
Still I will follow
Cause the thought of a prize
Is more tempting than a lie

Do as I'm told
Don't have the nerve to speak up
What am I good for if I can't even endure
I'll do as I'm told
I wish I could show you I'm great
But until than
I'll settle for the hate

I promise I'll make you proud of me
Even if it kills me
Least that will be a load
You don't have to worry 'bout
I will always carry you
Through all the struggle
I'll still expect a prize
Waiting at the end of the line

Do as I'm told
Don't have the nerve to speak up
What am I good for if I can't even endure
I'll do as I'm told
I wish I could show you I'm great
But until than
I'll settle for the hate
Do as I'm told
Even if fate gives escape
What am I good for if I can't even change fate

So I'll endure
As long as it takes
Even if there's no change
It's up to me to make change
All you gave were excuses
Still I will follow
Cause the thought of a lie
Is comforting than the prize

Do as I'm told
Don't have the nerve to speak up
What am I good for if I can't even endure
I'll do as I'm told
I wish I could show you I'm great
But until than
I'll settle for the hate
