I am not what you want me to be.
Uncle Sam won't even point at me.
Even the eyes of the Virgin Mary wall hanging won't even stare at me.
Show me a picture and I'll show you the flaws.
I can't do the things you do because I said so;
That's it.
I can't show you probable cause.
I know these programmed eyes were never mine.
In the mirror, I'm a monster but you're my Frankenstein.
I'll start listening more when people talk,
Instead of worrying of how I ought to look
In their minds
The biggest waste of my time.
Not living for your unwritten laws,
Not for for the mobs and audience
Despite the fear and the torches.
And I know these programmed eyes were never mine.
In the mirror I'm a monster but you're my Frankenstein.
Take off your goggles.
Our world exploits feelings for money.
It makes- it makes my vision wobble.
I'm turning blue for someone else's green.
And I know these programmed eyes were never mine.
In the mirror I'm a monster but you're my Frankenstein.
It's okay, we all have our crosses to bear.
But just don't wait 'til you're crucified
To start to care.
