Well you're not, you're not who you think you are

Well we think that you are John or Dave

But you're not, you're not who you think you are

Jumbled mass of preconceived ideas

From our birth we were given an identity

People told us we were great or small

From our birth we were given rules of right or wrong

Not forgetting the bullies at school

The world teaches us to think that life is full of limitations

The world tries to make us think that there are loads of limits

The world teaches us to think that life is full of limitations

The world tries to make us think that there are loads of limits

Welcome to Conditioning

Welcome to Conditioning

And as the world makes us feel great

And as the world makes us feel small

Oh so convinced of our identity

If we only knew it we just can't believe it we just won't believe it

Leading us to think that we are such a success

Conning us to think that we are just a failure

Leading us to think that we are so intelligent

Conning us to think that we are just a do-do do-do
