A Little Less Understanding

It's time to tell white lies Time to feed your confidence In yourself, time to make you fly It's time to hold you down Show the ropes around your life So you can take control Chorus 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 Younger version of me Verse 2 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 Chorus 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 Bridge I can feel the wrath of a crying child As you crash the gates of your tiny life For the very first time in your life You'd rather chew off your own tail What you really want isn't what you need Maybe one is enough, it'll feed your need I only want the best for you Your prison's like a mansion with a view Chorus 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 And little more understanding The windowpane of life You only see the stains in the sunlight
