Oh yeah!
A study of history reveals an unflagging appeal to mystery
You talk about abstraction at the top of the list
But you might as well get pissed, cause in me the essence does not exist, no-oh-oh
Yeah yeah!
You're so shallow
How can your romance hope to be the veil of an ersatz human nature
That can pacify but never slept well when there's the pretension of living a lie

Take me as i am, judge me for my crimes
I can say i'll behave freely all the time
You can predict what i'll say, it's in my dna
But soon i'll be a catalogue number anyway

So say a little prayer
Convince yourself that someone cares
All i am is what you see
There is nothing more than the surface of me [x2],

You know

Oh yeah!

Apologies to skinner, but i do believe that i feel like i'm a winner
Having just discovered a long solved modal secret, of how i always feel
So goddamn downtrodden and desperate

Take me as i am, judge me for my crimes
I can say i'll behave freely all the time
You can predict what i'll say, it's in my dna
But soon i'll be a catalogue number anyway

So say a little prayer
Convince yourself that someone cares
All i am is what you see
There is nothing more than the surface of me [x6]

What you see is the surface of me
