Plastic People

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

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

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

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

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

Generation, desperation, demonstration, provocation
Population, segregation, isolation, suffocation
Degradation, desolation, living in a plastic nation

Nation of the plastic people

Saying this and meaning that

Don't be cast into the sequel
Living in a nation of plastic people

Generation, desperation, demonstration, provocation
Population, segregation, isolation, suffocation
Degradation, desolation destination of the nation
