Plastic People
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Fly fly fly me higher I don't want to come down
Tell all the plastic people: take a look around
You you can't be me and I can't be you
Tell all the plastic faces nothing they can do but:
Be yourself be yourself be yourself
Why do all the plastic people livin' in a plastic world
Do what all the plastic people do, ain't nothin' here for me and you
Nylon, nylon, nylon ... nylon life
Polyester feelings, linoleum wife
They can't stand to show their true colours
Anything humane is swept away by the dollars
Be yourself
Why do all the plastic people...
Commercial Break
Be yourself
Y'got life's pole position baby can't you see
Take a glance inside and tell me are you really free?
Shake your ego, ego to the ground
See if the music of life makes a different sound
Be yourself
Why do all the plastic people...
