“we like your music” he said
“and we’re gonna make a star of you
of course we know you can sing and play
but you dress like an undertaker, that’s for sure
we thought you’d look better with a mini skirt on
and maybe a pink bra, or maybe a black one”
is this a nightmare? I thought, when do I wake up?
I don’t care I don’t care what you want me to be
I am me, I am me, I am no pawn in your game you see
you don’t seem to understand my play
there’s no way for me to be another product for sale
another product for sale
another product for sale
“and I suppose you know the rules of the market
people want to understand what the lyrics are about
and of course it’d be a great artistic challenge
so would you please try and use your mother tongue somehow”
I can swear like the French, I thought,
but instead left them with their vile business chat
I don’t care I don’t care what you want me to be
I am me, I am me, I am no pawn in your game you see
you don’t seem to understand my play
there’s no way for me to be another product for sale
I don’t care I don’t care what you want me to be
I am me, I am me, I am no pawn in your game you see
you don’t seem to understand my play
there’s no way for me to be another product for sale

there’s no way for me to be another product for sale
another product for sale
another product for sale
