Oh yeah!
|
A study of history reveals an unflagging appeal to mystery
|
You talk about abstraction at the top of the list
|
But you might as well get pissed, cause in me the essence does not exist, no-oh-oh
|
Yeah yeah!
|
You're so shallow
|
How can your romance hope to be the veil of an ersatz human nature
|
That can pacify but never slept well when there's the pretension of living a lie
|
|
Take me as I am, judge me for my crimes
|
I can say I'll behave freely all the time
|
You can predict what I'll say, it's in my DNA
|
But soon I'll be a catalogue number anyway
|
|
So say a little prayer
|
Convince yourself that someone cares
|
All I am is what you see
|
There is nothing more than the surface of me [x2],
|
|
you know
|
|
Oh yeah!
|
|
Apologies to Skinner, but I do believe that I feel like I'm a winner
|
Having just discovered a long solved modal secret, of how I always feel
|
So goddamn downtrodden and desperate
|
|
Take me as I am, judge me for my crimes
|
I can say I'll behave freely all the time
|
You can predict what I'll say, it's in my DNA
|
But soon I'll be a catalogue number anyway
|
|
So say a little prayer
|
Convince yourself that someone cares
|
All I am is what you see
|
There is nothing more than the surface of me [x6]
|
|
What you see is the surface of me
