Conditioning

Howard Jones

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

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
