There's nothing I hate more, than all these plastic people With all their plastic promises, and all there plastic deals They just can't be themselves, and live their own lives out They're just an imitation of what life's all about "Because of me you are who you are So sign your name and you'll go for I'm your friend, I think you should So sign your name, it's for your own good" HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU HEARD THIS TODAY??? Some bogus piss-on saying "Let's do lunch babe" For them this ********, that's their whole life Cut through their ******** with a knife IMITATION OF LIFE OOOOOOH, OOOOH, OH ANGER BURNS Whatever happened to the guy I knew A media creation, a monster grew Our story had an unhappy end But this could change, I still call him friend "Take my advice, and listen to me A great opportunity, can't you see I only want what's best for you The deal of a lifetime, what more can I do" HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU HEARD THIS TODAY???
