We are told that we cannot aspire to greatness, but only to be rich
Do you think all rich people are happy?
Then I wonder, I wonder what you think happiness is.
We are bounded by the boundaries of our understanding
If you understood the world you
would not stand for half of these things.
And I know I shouldn't say half of these things
I know what you're thinking: it's uncomfortable to listen,
But if you listen to the truth it can often sound misleading
And you've got to, you've got to look at who's been guiding you.
It's your deepest secret,
it's your deepest secret, it's your deepest secret,
You already know it, but you'd never believe it.
When everything you know consists of contradictions
You've got to think that something must be wrong
When everything you do is not really for you
You've got to think you shouldn't play along
When everyone you know is getting depressed
And every choice you make is making you stressed
You've got to think seriously that maybe, maybe you just don't belong.
It's your deepest secret,
it's your deepest secret, it's your deepest secret,
You already know it, but you'd never believe it.
Well my mind's my own, and these are just the thoughts of an idle mind
But when I think of home, I know just what I expect to find
And after where I've been and all that
I've seen I know why I am that way inclined
And I know just where you're coming
from, for that is where I left behind
So I'm speaking to you if you will excuse me
And I'll speak for you if you won't abuse me
Don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong.
It's our deepest secret
You already know it, but you'd never believe
