You say you teach me how to think

to say the things you say are true

when the things you say, don't come from you.

I say, you teach me WHAT to think

to say the things you say are true

to the people who will come after you

And when I say these things, you say

I am paraded to those that aren't you

I say the things you say are true,

when that things you say, don't come from you.
