It's not the picture that we were shown
And we don't recognize it now that we're grown
It's not the picture that we were shown
And we are swinging at the end of the rope
No one
It's not the picture that we were sold
Nothing is how they painted it
An ideology left out in the cold
It's not the picture that we were sold
And it's so different to what we were told
You bow down and you'd rather believe
that all we pass on is part of our DNA
It's cos of us it continues and unquestionably
it's all on us now to make it OK
You bow down and you'd rather believe
that all we pass on is part of our DNA
It's only us that can change it into equality,
it's only us that can take it away
It's not the picture that we were shown
And we don't recognize it now that we're grown
It's not the picture that we were shown
And we are swinging at the end of the rope
