Lyrics
Synthetica
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.
Some of us are wild ones
Ever underwanted, I believe
Lining up in the background
Waiting for the crowd shot to be seen
In the shadow of the big screen
Everybody begs to be redeemed
Hey, I'm not synthetica
I'll keep the life that I've got
We were never meant to crawl in for the bait
We never will
I can think for myself
I've got something no pill could ever kill
Hey, I'm not synthetica, oh
I'll keep the life that I've got, oh
So hard, hard to resist synthetica, oh
No drug is stronger than me, synthetica
We're all the time confined to fit the mold
But I won't ever let them make a loser of my soul
Hey, I'm not synthetica, oh
I'll keep the life that I've got, oh
I'll keep the life that I've got
