Shake me like a tambourine,
I really think I want to forget what goes on just a little bit,
Cynical and cold as ice,
They're listening.
You want to be careful with the things that you say

Cause they will have you on a plate of shiny golden metal,
Yeah they will have you on a plate of shiny golden metal,

Smell the rose now you strip it of its petals,
Coming up sharp after years in the shadows,
Memory lies when memory fades,
And you weren't meant to know,
Bright young things and the real go-getters,
With the capital drive and the Mickey mouse sweater,
Wait until the deal is sealed,
Cause you weren't meant to know,

That they will have you on a plate of shiny golden metal,
Yeah they will have you on a plate of shiny golden metal,

I feel fake, a mistake, but I'm fine,
Losing grace, that's O.K, I don't mind,
This is fake, I'm awake, it's just fine,
I feel fake, a mistake, yeah
