lyrics

Everybody wants to be known
I just want to be a blank canvas
Everybody wants to be known
I just wanna be anonymous
Everybody wants to be laid back
I just wanna be uptight
Everybody wants to express themselves and I just wanna suppress it

Mass produced on a factory line
Individuality for you to buy
Why be yourself? You could be anybody else 'till you're
a wolf in sheep's clothing
a wolf in sheep's clothing

Everybody says they'll take action
while they watch from behind their screens
Everybody says they'll protest
while they stay subdued
Everybody wants to be loved
I just wanna be lusted over
Everybody wants to be edgy
I just wanna be mediocre

Mass produced on a factory line
Originality for you to buy
Why be yourself? You could be anybody else 'till you're
a wolf in sheep's clothing
a wolf in sheep's clothing

Tell me how to dress, tell me how to feel
In ads and on the billboards
Alternative appeal

Everybody wants to make an impact
I just wanna be the echo
Everybody wants to be authentic
I just wanna be a fraud
Everybody wants to be known
I just want to be a blank canvas
Everybody wants to be known
I just wanna be anonymous

Tiny hands work the factory lines
Hyper-sexuality for you to buy
Why be yourself? You could be anybody else 'till you're
a lamb in wolf's clothing
or a wolf in sheep's clothing

Tell me how to dress, tell me how to feel
Scrape paint off down to the bone to find out what is real
