Lyrics

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.
