I've Been Told Songtext
von Dialectrix

I′ve been told the life we're gonna lead is gonna end
I′ve been told sometimes people speak but not a lot is said
I've been told never leave your purpose lost, serve your boss
Earn some cash and buy life, at its purchase cost
I've been told to hate my clans and to burn the cross
And then to pray for our sins by those who worship God
Tell him quickly live a life of celibacy and go to heaven
Without experiencing any heavenly delicacies
I′ve been told if ever grief stricken
Unleash the beast within with pre-writtens and keep kickin′
Pimps told I make a whore moan like oestrogen
And I've been told P. Diddy is wack and I′ve agreed with him
I've been told to break rules, stay cool
Leave fake fools in the toy existence like Playschool
I′ve been told to trust your intuition
Plus they're telling me that knowledge speaks but wisdom listens


"Here′s a story to tell, check it"
"Believe half what you see"
"That's true"
"Somebody should've told you, somebody should′ve told you"
"W-w-w-wait, I wanna talk"
"What they gon′ t-tell us about us, huh?"
"Fine line between grapevines and pines"
"I'm being"

I′ve been told that life forms evolved from the sea
Told to conform, told to stand for what you believe
I've been told by the TV that it′s okay
While a homeless man is telling me of his dismay
I've been told by my teachers that things won′t change
'Cause our history repeats till this present day
Told to be bold, told to hold your mind state
Told to stay high, but told to fly straight
I've been told plenty idiotic cluelessness
In a critical review of what my music is
I′ve been told by a dietitian
That obesity in western society′s risen
People telling me this, but people telling me that
But what you say is a tell-all sign of where you're at
From hearing to speakin′, they say there's a difference
They′re telling me that knowledge speaks but wisdom listens


"Here's a story to tell, check it"
"Believe half what you see"
"That′s true"
"Somebody should've told you, somebody should've told you"
"W-w-w-wait, I wanna talk"
"What they gon′ t-tell us about us, huh?"
"Fine line between grapevines and pines"
"I′m being"
