Mike was right when he said Id put up
A fight to be someone, a fight to be me
But see now, Im down
Under the pavement
Of capital hills and lowercase people
As time rolls by my dreams have become
That which is attainable
Not what Im looking for!
Ive got the company car
Im the one swinging at two below par
Yeah, Ive become one with the ones
That Ive never believed in
But Ive got the company car
Im the king of things Ive always despised
Im the gingerbread man
who got eaten alive
Im half-baked! Im fake!
But see Ive got hotels on
Park Place and Boardwalk
And two hundred bucks
I pass go but, oh! Lifes taken its toll
Have I won Monopoly to forfiet my soul?
All the kings horses
At the foot of the wall
Theyre taking pictures of
The man whos lost all of his
Masks of pretension
Hes got two faces left
His is the one that he hides
On the left behind that smile...
Hiding tears and fear
That burns like an engine
It drives him away
From the ones that he loves
Mike was right:
"Hey Mike! Were one and the same;
were the faceless combatants
in the lonliest game"
Ah but say, Ill wave as Im driving by
With that smirk in my eye, yelling
"Hey! Im something man, check me out!"
