This is my excuse to testify
been a beaten down boy
and i don't know why
that's alright, that's alright

Well the truth was a lie and i don't know
how it got me to follow
and it's true that the lie that was sold me
will never let me go

What i needed you to say
was hidden far away
This is why i've had to justify,
my head is shaken, yeah but that's alright
What i needed to believe was hidden far from me
That's alright cuz i believe you

Take advantage of a malleable mind
been a weakened sucker boy without a spine
that's alright, that's alright
Tell me that I've got to fight your fights,
and now i'm a bleeding boy without a life
but that's alright, that's alright

Well the truth was a lie and i don't know
how it got me to follow
and it's true that the lie that was sold me
will never let me go

What i needed you to say
was hidden far away
This is why i've had to justify,
my head is shaken, yeah but that's alright
What i needed to believe was hidden far from me
That's alright cuz i believe you

Don't feel bad because i won't cry
I'll do your will
and not ask why,
but that's alright because i believe you

What i needed you to say
was hidden far away
This is why i've had to justify,
my head is shaken, yeah but that's alright
What i needed to believe was hidden far from me
That's alright, that's alright.
