lyrics

this is a shock to the system
what you are hearing
what do i sound like?
what am i singing?
who do i look like?

can i break you down to the very elementary?
what are the chords?
can you bring it?
are you just another flake?

cause there was someone else before you
that did it better than you
an easy sing-a-long:
we all are fakes!

could you be more original?
is that asking so much?
cause i believe in throwing stones as long as they dont hit me

there was someone else before you
that did it better than you
an easy sing-a-long:
we all are fakes!

this is a shock to your system
what you are hearing
what do i sound like?
what am i singing?
who do i look like?
