What Are You?
What are you, becoming?
What have you, become?
Once, you sang your own song, now you're dancing to the same drum
What have you become?

And what is that, you're wearing?
Money's ugly confidence
You sacrificed, the poem of your imagination (Wooooooaaaahhh)
For these pounds and pence
Me, I take the cynic's role, throw scorn on your empty mind
I've seen this monotonous world make dull, what used to shine
You lost interest, you lost your spine (Wooooooaaaahhh)
That's fine fine fine
Bye Bye Bye Bye (Wooooooaaaahhh)

When there's nothing left, on this plate you're handed
You'll find yourself, running the gauntlet, of all these double standards
It's very thin ice, over which you're skating (Wooooooaaaahhh)
And after this black winter, the thaw

So what are you?
Tell me, tell me what are you?
Now what have you.. Become?
