I've found a new demagogue in demography
Cause i am no more than the image you've made of me
I eat my own existence like it's a piece of cake
And there's a special kind of guilt i feel when i finally get a break
I am yearning to be owned while owning nothing of my own
At the bottom of this bucket along with everyone
Is where i start to claw and crawl for everything i need
And when i reach the rim it will have been over someone just like me
I talk to you like i'm trying to sell you something
Don't you love to treat everyone like another twenty-something
Just a vessel for signage
Another passing advertisement
I'm content with being content to amuse
I talk to you like i'm trying to sell you something
Don't you love to treat everyone
Like they're on the verge of something
Just a vessel for signage
A walking-talking advertisement
I am content with being content to amuse
My enviable life
Does it spark delight?
My anxieties a fire they ignite
To meet the demand of perfection from strangers and the like
And there's a special kind of guilt i feel when i finally get it right
I am yearning to be owned while owning nothing of my own
At the bottom of this bucket along with everyone
Is where i start to claw and crawl for everything i need
And when i reach the rim it will have been over someone just like me
I talk to you like i'm trying to sell you something
Don't you love to treat everyone like another twenty-something
Just a vessel for signage
Another passing advertisement
I'm content with being content to amuse
I talk to you like i'm trying to sell you something
Don't you love to treat everyone
Like they're on the verge of something
Just a vessel for signage
A walking-talking advertisement
I am content with being content to amuse
