Take these plastic people Read their lips, now let it linger Is there anything that makes them sound sincere? Tightly hold your hand Take a deep breath, give them the finger Are you worried That your thoughts are not quite clear? (Twitch) Overlooked, unfit appearance I remember falling I remember marching Like a one man army Through the blaze I know I'm coughing I believe in something I don't want to remember falling For your lies Unbutton your clothes Undress your soul, show them your vigor Are those inhibitions easiest to fear? Take this gasoline tin Head up high, walk like a winner Let the bare feet be the last sound that they hear (Twitch) Overlooked, unfit appearance I remember falling I remember marching Like a one man army Through the blaze I know I'm coughing I believe in something I don't want to remember falling For your lies Falling I remember falling I remember marching Like a one man army Through the blaze I know I'm coughing I believe in something I don't want to remember falling
