Jon Troast - Old Way of Thinking

I used to think when I was younger
I questioned everything that didn't have an answer
They taught me how to add up numbers
But when I'd ask them "Why?"
They sent me home to ask my mother

Soon I was learning facts and figures
A list of true and false that I had to remember
You know that list kept getting bigger
I started thinking that the list was all that really mattered

Well, it's that old way of thinking
It's that old way of thinking
It's that old way of thinking that's holding me down

Soon I was learning about religion
You've got to say that you believe these three things
But lately that don't feel like living
I'm gonna think about what each one means

I wanna live with some conviction
I want to operate with confidence in my position
Most people know if you're fact or fiction
And just plain saying things will never make a difference

Well, it's that old way of thinking
It's that old way of thinking
It's that old way of thinking that's holding me down

It seems like years ago since I made that list
Well today I kissed that list goodbye
I live the bigger things, and the other stuff
All falls in line

Well, it's that old way of thinking
It's that old way of thinking
It's that old way of thinking that's holding me down
