Raised by a lie

It used to be so easy
knowing what life was
but now to see its nothing
like the image that they showed us
it was easy to swallow
and it was easy see
but we never realised we were targets
buying someone else's dreams
and someone else's future

now the ships come in
and it was just a barge
and that sweet siloet was nothing
but a mirage

now they tell me what to buy
and the tell me who i wanna be
but there only one reason
they're interested in me

i watched my lifetime pass me by
in front of that screen where we fuc*** die
lessons in life that we'll never use
sponsored by and brought to you
raised by a lie
raised by a perfect lie
