I build a maze around myself

construct a force field

pay no attention

to the man behind the curtain

I wouldn't want you to think that I'm weak

can't let you see that I'm afraid

so instead i'm gonna put you down

so instead i'm gonna push you around.

I rule as the king

the reigning authority figure

everyone is a role model

in one way or another

a brilliantly shining example

of a right way or a wrong

but there seems no way to determine

what I have always known all along.

Cause I'm just a product

which gives me an excuse

to treat you like an object

for my rotten abuse

I'd rather turn it around

than watch my guts cave in

'cause self destruction is much too ...

tedious.

A prisoner inside of my ego

I'll speak to you as a prophet

can't you see I'm lying?

but I can't even stop it

I must make an excellent impression

in order to get what I want

but I'm ever so bored and restless

from only doing as I was taught.

I'm just a product ...
