Plastic People

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Carry me home, away from all these things That keep deceiving me I'm all alone, nowhere, no one To show me where to go Take my money, wear my shirt Using me to do your dirt Judging me when all the time You're the one who did the crime Someone tell me what's the truth? Save the children, save the youth What about our hopes and dreams? You're not what you really seem [Chorus] Nation of the plastic people Here's the church and here's the steeple Preaching good and doing evil Trying to treat you less than equal Saying this and meaning that Twist a knife into your back Don't be cast into the sequel Living in a nation of plastic people [Verse 2] You're just like a rose, I wanna grow So I can serve my purpose here I wanna fly before I die Be like a bird and touch the sky Take my home and take my name Generation cellophane There's no difference, all the same I don't know when I'm ashamed Can you walk inside my shoes? Don't be mad if I refuse Artificial attributes Different leaders, same old news [Chorus] Nation of the plastic people Here's the church and here's the steeple Preaching good and doing evil Trying to treat you less than equal Saying this and meaning that Twist a knife into your back Don't be cast into the sequel Living in a nation of plastic people [Verse 3] Want you to know, it's a situation begging for salvation Look into the sky and answer to all my frustration There's a choice I'm making If there's a chance, I'll take it It's the only life I got to live, so I can't fake it [Bridge] Generation, desperation, demonstration, provocation Population, segregation, isolation, suffocation Degradation, desolation, living in a plastic nation [Chorus] Nation of the plastic people Here's the church and here's the steeple Preaching good and doing evil Trying to treat you less than equal Saying this and meaning that Twist a knife into your back Don't be cast into the sequel Living in a nation of plastic people [Outro] Generation, desperation, demonstration, provocation Population, segregation, isolation, suffocation Degradation, desolation destination of the nation Degradation, desolation, living in a plastic nation Living in a plastic nation
