Someone Else

You could be something great, but distractions won
Pursuit of happiness has left you numb
When you're bored you're easy to manipulate
Control becomes a breeze when you're desperate
Need a name famous enough to drop
Or an arse rich enough to slip in your tongue
Any fool can stay alive if they're willing to suck it
But it's keeping your spine which is the difficult trick

Dipshit!
Be yourself

A good friend knows how to make you feel used
'Coz it's easier to stay and tolerate the abuse
Keep this up and you'll be extinct
Vicious delicious, my how you've tanked
We're all looking for the next big thing
Hunt it down, eat it, and shit out again
Don't blame me I was just giving orders
I don't want justice, I just want dollars...and revenge!
...Make it rain!

Be yourself
Be yourself

Make you clean like steam, and pour you into the clouds
Make your brain perfect before you blow it out
From idealistic youth to redundant wage slave
To eating corporate leftovers in your golden age
Obedience is not enough
Humiliation is the final seal for your submission
We dream of storming Eden, but we're locked in a slum
I hate the person I'm trained to become

Be yourself
Or be someone else for someone else
Be yourself
Or be someone else for someone else
Be yourself
Or be someone else for someone else
Be yourself
Or be someone else for someone else

I hate the person I'm programmed to become
I hate the person I'm forced to become
