David Byrne - A Self Made Man Lyrics
Were living in a dumpTrying to figure out what sex we areExchanging chromosomesTrying to bargain for a better futureWell Ill trade you my potential mental illnessFor your bad teethHow bout trading your sexy body for a full head of hairWell we cant predict the futureBut were trying to do the best that we canMy cards are on the tableIm gambling everything that I amAnd some of us are hopingTo end up with a perfect lifeIll trade you everything that I gotFor the chance to be someone elseBut what you see is what you getAnd what you give is what you chooseAnd what I amWhat you seeIs exactly what I chose to beNow we got a black marketBlack market in designer genesMost beautiful, most intelligent criminals youve ever seenNow youre paying top dollarFor what you used to get for freeTheyll stun you with their looksAnd charm you with effortless easeTheyve taken everything from youThe way you walkThe way you smileThe sound of your voiceDont even know who you areWho are you now?Who are you now?Im a self made man, Im a self-made manIm a self-made man (I got nothing left to give)Im a self-made man (I got nothing left to lose)On down the hallwayThe freaks are waiting for youSomebody calls meThe freaks are waiting for youAnd the clown will laugh in your faceHo ho ho ho ho ho ho ho hoThe clown will laugh in your faceHo ho ho ho ho ho ho ho hoThe clown will laugh in your face
