lyrics

When they told us we were right
there was something really wrong
we were destined to be so much more
all the things we wanted were what we deserved

We believed the sweetest things they said
and we did whatever they wanted

I'd cut off my skin to be more like them
I'd cut off my nose, I'd cut off my hands
I'd cut off my head, I'd obey commands
I'll be more like them, I'll be more like them
I'd forsake my blood to be more like them
I'd deny my love, I'd deny my glands
I'd be like a screen, I'd be like a scan
I'll be more like them, I'll be more like them
