Thereand's nothing i hate more, than all these plastic people
with all their plastic promises, and all there plastic deals
they just canand't be themselves, and live their own lives out
theyand're just an imitation of what lifeand's all about
andquot;because of me you are who you are
so sign your name and youand'll go for
iand'm your friend, i think you should
so sign your name, itand's for your own goodandquot;
how many times have you heard this today???
some bogus piss-on saying andquot;letand's do lunch babeandquot;
for them this bullshit, thatand's their whole life
cut through their bullshit with a knife
imitation of life
Ooooooh, ooooh, oh
anger burns
whatever happened to the guy i knew
a media creation, a monster grew
our story had an unhappy end
but this could change, i still call him friend
andquot;take my advice, and listen to me
a great opportunity, canand't you see
i only want whatand's best for you
the deal of a lifetime, what more can i doandquot;
how many times have you heard this today???
some stupid sucker says andquot;itand's great, we luv ya babeandquot;
for them this bullshit, itand's their whole life
cut through their bullshit with a knife
imitation of life
Oooooh, ooooh, oh
anger burns
bands dress like women with hairspray and lace
iand'd pass an image law, stick it in your face!
letand's see how long they keep dressing this way
wearing this image twenty four hours a day!
Did you ever think for yourself??
just once, did you ever think??
thatand's all i want to know
Imitation of life, living out a lie
youand'll never be right, imitation of life
why are you here??, youand're taking up my space
the new imperfect race, imitation of life
Oooooooh, ooooh, oh
Anger burns
whatever happened to the guy i knew
a media creation, a monster grew
our story had a unhappy end
but this could change, i still call him friend
thereand's nothing i hate more
than all these plastic people
with all their plastic promises
and all their plastic deals
they just canand't be themselves
and live their own lives out
theyand're just an imitation
of what lifeand's all about
imitation of life!!!!!!
