What are you?
|
What are you becoming?
|
What have you become?
|
|
Once you sang your own song
|
Now you're dancing to the same drum
|
What have you become?
|
|
And what is that you're wearing?
|
Money's ugly confidence
|
|
You sacrificed the poem of your imagination
|
For these pounds and pence
|
|
Me I take the cynic's role
|
Throw scorn on your empty mind
|
I've seen this monotonous world
|
Make dull what used to shine
|
You lost interest
|
You lost your spine
|
Oh that spine fine fine
|
|
Yeah
|
When there' nothing left
|
On this plate you're handed
|
You find yourself
|
Running the gauntlet
|
Of all of these double standards
|
It's very thin ice over which you're skating
|
And after this black winter the thaw
|
|
So what are you
|
Tell me tell me what are you
|
And what have you become
|
|
