[Verse 1]
They  try   to tell you,
What you can and cannot do,
Your place on the path,
How much you get to know.

[Chorus]
And what makes it so?
How do    they know?
How can it only be,
One way?

[Verse 2]
And you,
You don't like it,
You’ve already picked out your move,
The road you'd like to ride,
Just how deep in the groove.

[Chorus]
And what makes it so?
How do    they know?
How can it only be,
One  way?

[Interlude]
Hmm . . .

[Verse 3]
A man stands before you,
Telling us all what his great leader said,
 (And I say),
Where is it written,
And how many ways can it be read?

[Chorus]
And what makes it so?
How do    they know?
How can it only be,
One  way?

[Verse 4]
I think for myself,
Probably keep it that way,
At least for now,
At least for today.

[Chorus]
And what makes it so?
How do    they know?
How can it only be,
One  way?
