G Em
I'm not a puppet to your singular opinion of mine

You little fake

I know you only ride bright to the lights

You better shake

Shake yourself from the limelight

'Cause there's a million things you missed at school
Em
And there's a million and one like you
C
Another drop in the sea and the ocean's blue
D G
'Cause it's full up to the banks with fools like you
Em
So catch him, he's in the rye
G Em
And I don't care what you do in life

My eyes have been a victim to the fashion that you put on yourself

With the money that your mummy gave for being a good girl

And then a beat, a cool young heart, yeah you might change up your style
G Em
And now you're street or maybe, baby, a love line

I spend all my time but that's too short to over-analyse (criticise)

but everything's on my mind
G
and maybe that's all you do
(pause)

It's such a long, long way, but you're in front of me
