Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Now you're a clone With a heart of stone Synthetic soul Brainwashed and cold You're just a drone Got no control Forced in a mold Processed and sold Hey! You know I find it frightening How you change just as fast as lightning You fell from grace Leaving no trace You've been replaced Your name erased Hey! It's your self-destruction You never listen to my instruction Shame, shame, shame, shame Shame that everyone's the same I thought you stood alone We're different from the clones You were a flash of light A meteorite Unique in time Now out of sight For I have seen what could have been A vivid dream A prophecy Hey! Now there's no use waiting Everything is disintegrating Shame that everyone's the same I thought you stood alone We're different from the clones I thought you were the true Exception to the rule But the truth it is cruel Clones, clones, clones, clones Clones, clones, clones, clones Yeah! Hey! Now there's no use waiting Everything is disintegrating Shame that everyone's the same I thought you stood alone We're different from the clones I thought you were the true Exception to the rule But the truth it is cruel
