Lyrics
The Clone
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.
I read the books that they told me I should read
I spoke the words that they told me I should speak
I was the person, the person that they told me to be
I went to places they told me I should go
I learned the rules that they told me I should know
I was a model, a model for the status quo
And with all that they programmed into my mind
There's something I'm missing but nothing to find
One after the other, the cycle parades
Tomorrow one more clone is made
Listen, listen and put you ear to the ground
You can't stop the engine if you can't hear the sound
Look up, look up and throw you hands in the air
They can't stop the engine going 'round
I got the haircut they told me I should get
I can't remember what they said to forget
I'm just a number, another to the government
I went to church where they told me I should pray
I paid the taxes they told me I should pay
I got the family, the house and bills and chevrolet
And with all that they programmed into my mind
There's something I'm missing but nothing to find
One after the other, the cycle parades
Tomorrow one more clone is made
Listen, listen and put you ear to the ground
You can't stop the engine if you can't hear the sound
Look up, look up and throw you hands in the air
They can't stop the engine going 'round, 'round, 'round, 'round
They look like you and me
And now we're all the same, you see
I go to work each day
And wish my life away
Away, away, away, away, away, away, away, away, away, oh
Wooh
And with all that they programmed into my mind
There's something I'm missing but nothing to find
One after the other, the cycle parades
Tomorrow one more, one more
Listen, listen and put you ear to the ground
You can't stop the engine if you can't hear the sound
Look up, look up and throw you hands in the air
You can't stop the engine 'cause the engine ain't there
Listen, listen and put you ear to the ground
You can't stop the engine if you can't hear the sound
Look up, look up and throw you hands in the air
You can't stop the engine going 'round
