They Lyrics by Jem

Finally Woken (20th Anniversary Remastered Edition)

2004

[Verse 1]
Who made up all the rules?
We follow them like fools
Believe them to be true
Don't care to think them through

[Chorus]
And I'm sorry, so sorry
I'm sorry, it's like this
I'm sorry, so sorry
I'm sorry, we do this

[Verse 2]
And it's ironic too
Cause what we tend to do
Is act on what they say
And then it is that way

[Chorus]
And I'm sorry, so sorry
I'm sorry, it's like this
I'm sorry, so sorry
I'm sorry, we do this

[Verse 3]
And who are they?
And where are they?
And how can they possibly know all this?
And who are they?
And where are they?
And how can they possibly know all this?

[Bridge]
Do you see what I see?
Why do we live like this?
Is it because it's true
That ignorance is bliss?

[Verse 4]
And who are they?
And where are they?
And how can they know all this?
I'm sorry, so sorry
I'm sorry, it's like this

[Bridge]
Do you see what I see?
Why do we live like this?
Is it because it's true
That ignorance is bliss?

[Verse 4]
And who are they?
And where are they?
And how can they know all this?
I'm sorry, so sorry
I'm sorry, we do this
