Lyrics

Best For You

Above us lay the burdens, below us lay the truth. We're somewhere in the middle, and we're all discontent too. Is someone watching over you? Inside they know what's best for you. Judgement's not tomorrow, it's today (yes now it's here). But no it isn't Jesus, take a look at all your peers. They're all looking down on you. Inside they know what's best for you... Everybody knows what's best for you! [x14]

Well this is fairly obvious, with the line 'everybody knows what's best for you' the song is summed up. It is about how people are pressured by lots of different people in their life, and they cannot live as they would choose due to the opinions of others.
