You want prosperity

For yourself, but not for me

Somehow you just can't see

We're in this collectively

You think that freedom is

A drastic severance

From your past relations

Just a quest for new bargains



We're not the same person

We're not the same person (Don't even want to know)

Whoa



Don't need no good advice

Nor shoddy merchandise

I'm the suspect device

Beaten down, unable to strike



We're not the same person

We're not the same person (Don't even want to know)

Whoa



We lament, we pine, and we rescind

And we ask for understanding

But aren't we the stingy ones indeed

When it's needed from us in the end?

We watch the days go by

So few ever ask why

But so many just abuse the design



We're not the same person

We're not the same person (Don't even want to know)

Whoa
