It's time you learned a lesson
It's time that you understand
Don't ever count on anybody else
In this or any other land

I once hoped for friendship
To find a place among my kind
But those were the childish wishes
Of someone who was blind
Open up your eyes

See the world from were I stand
Me among the mighty
You caged at [bad word] 
Open up your eyes

Give up your sweet fantasyland
It's time to grow up and get wise [bad word] now little one
Open up your eyes

We all start out the same
With simple naïve [bad word] 
Shielded from the many ways
That life's not fair or just

But then [bad word] a moment
simple [bad word] that you must face
If you depend on others
You'll never find your place

And as you take that first step
Upon a path that's all your own
You see it all so clearly
The best way to survive is all alone

Open up your eyes
And see the world from where I stand
Me among the mighty
You caged at [bad word] 

Open up your eyes
And behold the fading light
It's time to grow up and get wise [bad word] now little one
Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
