BU2B Lyrics
[Intro]
I was brought up to believe
The universe has a plan
We are only human
It's not ours to understand
[Verse 1]
I was brought up to believe
The universe has a plan
We are only human
It's not ours to understand
The universe has a plan
All is for the best
Some will be rewarded
And the devil will take the rest
[Chorus]
All is for the best
Believe in what we're told
Blind men in the market
Buying what we're sold
Believe in what we're told
Until our final breath
While our loving Watchmaker
Loves us all to death
I was brought up to believe
The universe has a plan
We are only human
It's not ours to understand
[Verse 1]
I was brought up to believe
The universe has a plan
We are only human
It's not ours to understand
The universe has a plan
All is for the best
Some will be rewarded
And the devil will take the rest
[Chorus]
All is for the best
Believe in what we're told
Blind men in the market
Buying what we're sold
Believe in what we're told
Until our final breath
While our loving Watchmaker
Loves us all to death
[Verse 2]
In a world of cut and thrust
I was always taught to trust
In a world where all must fail
Heaven's justice will prevail
The joy and pain that we receive
Each comes with its own cost
The price of what we're winning
Is the same as what we've lost
[Chorus]
All is for the best
Believe in what we're told
Blind men in the market
Buying what we're sold
Believe in what we're told
Until our final breath
While our loving Watchmaker
Loves us all to death
[Bridge]
Until our final breath
The joy and pain that we receive
Must be what we deserve
I was brought up to believe
In a world of cut and thrust
I was always taught to trust
In a world where all must fail
Heaven's justice will prevail
The joy and pain that we receive
Each comes with its own cost
The price of what we're winning
Is the same as what we've lost
[Chorus]
All is for the best
Believe in what we're told
Blind men in the market
Buying what we're sold
Believe in what we're told
Until our final breath
While our loving Watchmaker
Loves us all to death
[Bridge]
Until our final breath
The joy and pain that we receive
Must be what we deserve
I was brought up to believe
Until our final breath
The joy and pain that we receive
Must be what we deserve
I was brought up to believe
[Chorus]
All is for the best
Believe in what we're told
Blind men in the market
Buying what we're sold
Believe in what we're told
Until our final breath
While our loving Watchmaker
Loves us all to
Believe in what we're told
Until our final breath
While our loving Watchmaker
Loves us all to
Loves us all to death
The joy and pain that we receive
Must be what we deserve
I was brought up to believe
[Chorus]
All is for the best
Believe in what we're told
Blind men in the market
Buying what we're sold
Believe in what we're told
Until our final breath
While our loving Watchmaker
Loves us all to
Believe in what we're told
Until our final breath
While our loving Watchmaker
Loves us all to
Loves us all to death

What did Rush say about "BU2B"?
Genius Answer
Geddy Lee:
This is more about his (the guy in the previous song) personal upbringing and values that were instilled into this character and this is what you find when he goes out and faces this world that is not so cool. This and “Caravan” were the first two pieces of the puzzle, the rest of it was all to be filled in later!
