We're living in a dump
|
Trying to figure out what sex we are
|
Exchanging chromosomes
|
Trying to bargain for a better future
|
Well I'll trade you my potential mental illness
|
For your bad teeth
|
How 'bout trading your sexy body for a full head of hair
|
Well we can't predict the future
|
But we're trying to do the best that we can
|
My cards are on the table
|
I'm gambling everything that I am
|
And some of us are hoping
|
To end up with a perfect life
|
I'll trade you everything that I got
|
For the chance to be someone else
|
But what you see is what you get
|
And what you give is what you choose
|
And what I am
|
What you see
|
Is exactly what I chose to be
|
|
Now we got a black market
|
Black market in designer genes
|
Most beautiful, most intelligent criminals you've ever seen
|
Now you're paying top dollar
|
For what you used to get for free
|
They'll stun you with their looks
|
And charm you with effortless ease
|
|
They've taken everything from you
|
The way you walk
|
The way you smile
|
The sound of your voice
|
Don't even know who you are
|
Who are you now?
|
Who are you now?
|
|
I'm a self made man, I'm a self-made man
|
I'm a self-made man (I got nothing left to give)
|
I'm a self-made man (I got nothing left to lose)
|
|
On down the hallway
|
The freaks are waiting for you
|
Somebody calls me
|
The freaks are waiting for you
|
And the clown will laugh in your face
|
Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho
|
The clown will laugh in your face
|
Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho
|
The clown will laugh in your face
|
