lyrics

Model Citizen

Another dull suburbanite
Born to drain the world's resources
I eat and shit and throw away
I've been seduced by Kryptonite
Satisfied to tend my fortress and keep my Superman at bay

I'm running out of alibis to explain my situation
Seems like I've said it all before
I can't escape the paradigm
So I sign my resignation and say goodbye to something more

Everybody said "Think fast, make a move before you're out of time"
What the hell did I wait for?
I couldn't run, I couldn't jump, I couldn't watch another chance go by
What the hell did I stay for?

Now everything's fine I'm a model citizen
With tabs on my feet and a base to stick me in
Plastic and hollow with no pride to swallow
I know my tomorrow
I followed the instructions

I followed the instructions

And everybody said "Think fast, make a move before you're out of time"
What the hell did I wait for?
I couldn't run, I couldn't jump, I couldn't watch another chance go by
What the hell did I stay for?

Now everything's fine I'm a model citizen
With tabs on my feet and a base to stick me in
Plastic and hollow with no pride to swallow
I know my tomorrow
I followed the instructions
