A Self-Made Man |
| We’re living in a dump |
| Trying to figure out what sex we are |
| Exchanging chromosomes |
| Trying to bargain for a better future |
| Well I’ll trade you my potential mental illness |
| For your bad teeth |
| How 'bout trading your sexy body for a full head of hair |
| Well we can’t predict the future |
| But we’re trying to do the best that we can |
| My cards are on the table |
| I’m gambling everything that I am |
| And some of us are hoping |
| To end up with a perfect life |
| I’ll trade you everything that I got |
| For the chance to be someone else |
| But what you see is what you get |
| And what you give is what you choose |
| And what I am |
| What you see |
| Is exactly what I chose to be |
| Now we got a black market |
| Black market in designer genes |
| Most beautiful, most intelligent criminals you’ve ever seen |
| Now you’re paying top dollar |
| For what you used to get for free |
| They’ll stun you with their looks |
| And charm you with effortless ease |
| They’ve taken everything from you |
| The way you walk |
| The way you smile |
| The sound of your voice |
| Don’t even know who you are |
| Who are you now? |
| Who are you now? |
| I’m a self made man, I’m a self-made man |
| I’m a self-made man (I got nothing left to give) |
| I’m a self-made man (I got nothing left to lose) |
| On down the hallway |
| The freaks are waiting for you |
| Somebody calls me |
| The freaks are waiting for you |
| And the clown will laugh in your face |
| Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho |
| The clown will laugh in your face |
| Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho |
| The clown will laugh in your face |
