A Little Less Understanding

It’s time to tell white lies
Time to feed your confidence
In yourself
It’s time to make you fly.

It’s time to hold you down
Show the ropes
Around your life
So you can take control.

Yes, you will be free
Once you know what’s good for thee
But tonight you really need
A little less understanding.

I know how it must feel
You’re like a younger version of me.

I don’t wanna build
The enslaving bridge of vanities
Amenities.

To lose you to the game
That only values glitter and fame
A foundation that is frail.

Yes, you will be free
Once you know what’s good for thee
But tonight you really need
A little less understanding.

I know how it must feel
You’re like a younger version of me.

Yes, you will be free
You will decide what’s good for thee
But like we all, you sometimes need
A little less understanding.

I know how you feel
You’re like a younger version of me.

I can feel the wrath of a cryin’ child
As you crash the gates of your tiny life
For the very first time in your life
You would rather chew off your own tail.

What you really want isn’t what you need
Maybe one is enough, I’ll feed your need
I only want the best for you
Your prison’s like a mansion with a view.

Yes, you will be free
Once you know what’s good for thee
But tonight you really need
A little less understanding.

I know how you feel
You’re like a younger version of me.

Yes, you will be free
You will decide what’s good for thee
But like we all, you sometimes need
A little less understanding.

I know how you feel
You’re like a younger version of me.

Yes, you will be free
To choose the walk of life you believe
Gives you everything you need
A little more understanding.

The windowpane of life
You only see the stains in the sunlight.
