||
|
||
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 "Leg's do lunch babe"
|
||
For them this bullshit, it's their whole life
|
||
Cut through their bullshit with a knife

IMITATION OF LIFE
|
||
|
||
OOOOOOOH, OOOOH, OH
|

|
||
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 luv ya babe"
|
||
For them this bullshit, it's their whole life
|
||
Cut through their bullshit with a knife
|
||
IMITATION OF LIFE
|
||
|
||
OOOOOOOH, OOOOH, 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 twenty four hours a day...
|
||
|
||
DID YOU EVER THINK FOR YOURSELF??
|
||
JUST ONCE, DID YOU EVER THIN??
|
||
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
|
||
|
||
OOOOOOOH, OOOOH, OH

Whatever happened to the guy I knew

A media creation, a monster grew

Liner notes:
|
||
~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
1. The lyrics to "Among" are inspired by Stephen King's brilliant novel, "The
|
||
Stand". The album cover is inspired by the character "Randall Flagg," a
|
||
man (?) that definitely stands out "Among The Living."
|
||
2. "I Am The Law," is inspired by the British weekly 2000 A.D. publications
|
||
most popular, (and our favorite character) character, Judge Dredd. (Dredd
|
||
rules O.K.!!, HE IS THE LAW!).
|
||
3. The lyrics to "Skeleton" are inspired by the Stephen King novella, "Apt
|
||
Pupil." This story can be found in the book "Different Seasons."
