You are an effect Lookin' for a cause Hoping for respect Or maybe just applause You're a refugee Washed up on foreign soil Who're you gonna be A peasant or a royal You can hold your breath Till your face turns blue But you can't escape what's true You can fool some eyes In your new disguise But you'll never stop being you Life is just a trip Be careful not to fall With a single slip You may lose it all You can try new clothes Or try on those new shoes But don't you suppose You'll ever shed these blues You can hold your breath Till your face turns blue But you can't escape what's true You can fool some eyes In your new disguise But you'll never stop being you No you just can't quit Or get out of it And no matter what you do You can never stop being you You can hold your breath Till your face turns blue But you can't escape what's true You can fool some eyes In your new disguise But you'll never stop being you
