Paranoia, the uncertainty
The stupid knowing way they're grinning when they look at me
They say it's me
How do they know?
My mind and body have betrayed me and it shows
My brain reboots each time the sun begins to shine
And if I didn't know better then i'd swear to you that it's not mine
I can't control my face
I can't avoid that furrowed brow
Would've thought they'd send someone right over to show me how
Geraldine
Please tell me that you didn't have to put up with this sh**
Geraldine
Please tell me that you didn't have to do it
Like the others
We're not like them, we're not that strong
At least that's what they have been telling us all along
Geraldine
Please tell me that it wasn't that way for you
You are a grown up now, the program is complete
And everybody knows this because of the things you say when you speak
You know the drill
It's time to k**
And if you won't they'll find somebody else who will
This is a hostile world
Don't act like you weren't told
Nobody's going to buy that noise if you talk like that when you get old
Don't lose your cool
Don't come unglued
Be a man
Don't walk into the light
It's a trap dear Carol Anne

Please tell me that you didn't have to put up with this sh**
Geraldine
Please tell me that you didn't have to do it
Like the others
We're not like them, we're not that strong
At least that's what they have been telling us all along
Geraldine
Please tell me that it wasn't that way for you
