Anthrax - Imitation Of Life

There's nothing I hate more, than all these plastic people With all their plastic promises, and all their plastic deals They just can't be themselves, and live their own lives out They're just an imitation of what life's all about Because of me you are who you are So sign your name, and you'll go far I'm your friend, I think you should So sign your name, it's for your own good How many times have you heard this today? Some bogus piss-on saying, "Let's do lunch, babe" For them this bullshit, it's their whole life Cut through their bullshit with a knife Imitation of life Oh, oh, oh Anger burns Whatever happened to the guy I knew A media creation, a monster grew Our story had an unhappy end But this could change, I still call him friend Take my advice, listen to me A great opportunity, can't you see? I only want what's best for you The deal of a lifetime, what more can I do How many times have you heard this today? Some stupid sucker says, "It's great, we love ya babe" For them this bullshit, it's their whole life Cut through their bullshit with a knife Imitation of life Oh, oh, oh Anger burns Bands dress like women, with hairspray and lace I'd pass an image law, stick it in their face Let's see how long they keep dressing this way Wearing this image 24 hours a day Did you ever think for yourself? Just once, did you ever think? That's all I want to know Imitation of life, living out a lie You'll never be right, imitation of life Why are you here? You're taking up my space The new imperfect race Imitation of life Oh, oh, oh Anger burns Whatever happened to the guy I knew A media creation, a monster grew Our story had an unhappy end But this could change, I still call him friend There's nothing I hate more, than all these plastic people And all their plastic promises, and all their plastic deals They just can't be themselves, and live their own lives out They're just an imitation of what life's all about Imitation of life
