There's always someone trying to get ahold of me
Phone is always buzzin' they won't leave me be
TV deciding what I get to see
There's politicians trying to snag a vote from me
And countless advertisements by the companies
That tell you how to dress and tell you how to please
Regardless of your race, sex, color or creed
They'll never stop screaming till you're on your knees
Tell me, how about you
Are you who you want to be
Don't you lie to me
How about you?
Is that what you're meant to be
A number for some company
Oh, hey there pretty boys and pretty little girls
The way you sit and gossip make me want to hurl you
Off a cliff that's piled high with deep regrets
All mixed up with the coffee and the cigarettes
Lie to me like a lover or a dearest friend
Protect me from the truth until the very end
Are you sick of all the scandals never seem to end
Let's kick all of the fools out of the government
Tell me, how about you
Are you who you want to be
Don't you lie to me
Oh, how about you
Is that what you're meant to be
A number for some company
Tell me, how about you
How about you
