If you wanna be free
|
Then I want you to be
|
You're not mine anymore
|
You're public property
|
|
You're a slave to these people
|
Who don't even know you
|
You think they adore you
|
They do then they throw you away
|
|
Give the people what they want
|
You've got to give
|
The people what they want
|
Got to give
|
The people what they want
|

|
You can shine all alone
|
But you still need your friends
|
To remind you you're nothing
|
Unless you're plugged in
|
|
'Cause, baby, the truth is
|
You need their approval
|
They tell you you're cool
|
Hey, but look how you're paid for and
|
|
Give the people what they want
|
You've got to give
|
The people what they want
|
Got to give
|
The people what they want
|
|

|
Oh, is that what you are?
|
There must be thousands of you
|
|
So your time is in crumbs now
|
Your image is dumbed down
|
You're full of it now
|
What about when it runs out?
|
|
'Cause maybe you'll come back
|
And maybe I'll be here
|
You're already gone so just go
|
'Cause they're waiting for you
|
|
Yeah you
|
|
You've got to give
|
The people what they want
|
Got to give
|
The people what they want
|
|
La, da, da...
|
|
Oh, is that what you are....?
