Don't you want to be
A personality
An ocean in the sea
But you'll never make it if you can't shake
So don't mistake it, just try and fake it
And I want you to know
You don't have far to go
So we'll use all your dough
To buy new clothes and see what flows
And powder your nose for photos
You're almost on your way
To popularity
And we'll teach you to play
With icy stare and punk rock hair
And beatnik flare, we'll take you there
'Cause there's nobody else like you
And we sure care just what you're doing
After we have gone our separate ways
Hey, yeah, yeah

So don't you want to be
A big time entity
Your place in history
But don't be scared of what we said
'Cause there's no end to being your friend
But wait out in the hall
We just received a call
We'll have to dump you all
But don't you try and pass us by
'Cause we own you until we're through
And there's so many round like you
And we don't care just what you're doing
After we have gone our separate ways
Hey, yeah, yeah
