I want to be real
Not some conscience to myself
The way you worship, never ending
Some idol whos pretending to be true
How you put upon yourself
A man who never seems
To answer to you words
So go and make me over

Im a fly upon your neck
You cant control me
I have my words, my voice
My strengths, my choice
And I can cut as deep
Just as deep as I need

Dont want your advice
Cos Ive made up my own mind
The way you bore me with the stories
Of far and distant times
Ive heard it before
So dont try that on me
The way you worship, never-ending
Some idol whos pretending to be true
It could be you
Brainwashed by the lies
Its no surprise
That youd wanna waste your time

Im a fly upon your neck
You cant control me
I have my words, my voice
My strengths, my choice
And I can cut as deep
Just as deep as I need
