What Are You?
What are you? What are you becoming What have you become Once you sang your own song Now your dancing to the same drum What have you become What is that you're wearing Moneys ugly confidence Sacrifice the poem of your imagination For these pounds and pence Me I'll take the cynics role Throw scorn on your empty mime I've seen the monotonous world Make the dull what used to shine You lost interest, you lost your spine That's fine, fine, fine When there's nothing left On this plate you're handed You'll find yourself running the gauntlet Of all these double standards It's very thin ice over which your skating And after this black winter, the thaw What are you? What are you? What have you become?
