Lyrics
I was born into...
Plastic eyes and rubber smiles
Where eyes grow blind and the blind grow wild
I often wonder what there will be to offer when the plastic mold becomes our children
Oh, it's going to take some time
A long time to find out who we are
For some it takes a lifetime
Others it takes two to find out the truth
So, when tomorrow comes along with your possessions gone what will you do?
And all you're left with is love
Can you find someone to give it to?
Nothing is real
It's all material
Real is the mark you leave
Those plastic eyes and that rubber smile
Yeah, well I had them too until I found everything I'd ever want is something I already have...
Do you know who you are?
I don't think that you do
