lyrics

Frozen faces, the walls holding you within,
They can make you another face, one of them,
Again.

Speaking of themselves,
Thinking of themselves,
Dreaming of themselves,
Being just themselves,

That is all they need in the world,
Not what you want,
Not what you are,
You become whoever, they want.

Laughing faces, the cage you've made your home now.
A plastic town, with plastic toys,
A plastic world, with plastic joys.

Speaking of themselves ( being just the same ),
Thinking of themselves ( being just the same ),
Dreaming of themselves ( being just the same ),
Being just themselves, making you the same,

As they are,
As they always will,
As they always want you to be,
You must be whoever, they are.

A plastic world, with plastic thoughts,
and plastic joining plastic dots.

Speaking of themselves ( not another word ),
Thinking of themselves ( not another thought ),
Dreaming of themselves ( seeing not a thing ),
Plastic faces here ( frozen laughing dots ),
Being just themselves, wishing you the same.

As long as you are like them,
As long as you are them,
They will let you be them, alone.
