Do what you want me to do
Say what you want me to say
I smile when you give me the cue
I'll play like you want me to play
Don't give up, it's a quarter past three
I'm just scared I'll die before I can be free

So how come the road never clears?
How come it's always so cold?
I guess there's no way outta here
Unless I reshape to your mold
Don't give up, it's a quarter past three
I'm just scared I'll die before I can be free

Obey all posted signs
Am I so out of touch
To wanna let my darkness shine?

Let's take it down another notch
Dim all your brightest ideas
Just a little snip to the crotch, now watch
That oughta set you at ease
Don't give up, it's a quarter past three
I'm just scared I'll die before I can be free

Gonna let it shine!
C'mon J, let it shine

Don't give up, it's a quarter past three
I'm just scared I'll die before I can be free
