Oh yeah!A study of history
Reveals an unflagging appeal to mystery
You talk about abstraction at the top of the list
But you might as well get pissed
'Cause in me the essence does not exist, noYou're so shallow
How can your romance hope to be the veil of
An ersatz human nature that can pacify
But never slept well
When there's the pretension of living a lieTake me as I am, judge me for my crimes
I can say I'll behave freely all the time
You can predict what I'll say
It's in my DNA
And soon I'll be a catalog number anywaySo say a little prayer
Convince yourself that someone cares
All I am is what you see
There is nothing more than the surface of me
There is nothing more than the surface of meOh yeahApologies to Skinner
But I do believe I feel like I'm a winner
Having just discovered a long-solved modal secret
Of why I always feel
So goddamn downtrodden and desperateTake me as I am, judge me for my crimes
I can say I'll behave freely all the time
You can predict what I'll say
It's in my DNA
And soon I'll be a catalog number anywaySo say a little prayer
Convince yourself that someone cares
All I am is what you see
There is nothing more than the surface of me
There is nothing more than the surface of meTake me as I am, judge me for my crimes
I can say I'll behave freely all the time
You can predict what I'll say
It's in my DNA
And soon I'll be a catalog number anywaySo say a little prayer
Convince yourself that someone cares
All I am is what you see
There is nothing more than the surface of me
There is nothing more than the surface of meWhat you see is the surface of me
