You Are What You Eat

When I was a boy They say to me don't ask any questions And when I was a man They say to me I'm an embarrassment What a disappointment If I took up Buddhism Would it make me less of a knob At least if it was that religion I wouldn't have to pretend there's a god If I ate a chunk of animal to break my fast Would it upset the god that I don't believe exists You are what you eat Let me chew on my mind Oh you are what you eat Let me eat my spine You are what you eat And I wanna be me I want to know what it is to be myself Now I have fur on my lip I can see your disguise I can see right through it So much of you in me and me in you And when the wine once drowned it out I see now how easy it is to shout At someone when nothing is what they've done You are what you eat Let me eat something else for a while Oh you are what you eat Let me at least try You are what you eat And I don't wanna be me I want to know what it is to be someone else Taking a person to fix you up You've got to take a prisoner Don't let them go don't let them get bored Don't let your eyes wonder Wonder what else you could be and find yourself a prisoner Rinse and repeat Or you'll find yourself alone on your own Happy but could be happier Maybe you'll never be able to love again Because you see what you will become And you don't see any more happiness Try and change your path Try to be someone but me You are what you eat Let me eat something else for a while Oh you are what you eat Let me at least try You are what you eat And I don't wanna be me I want to know what it is i want to know what it is You are what you eat Let me eat something else for a while Oh you are what you eat Let me at least try You are what you eat And I don't wanna be me I want to know what it is to be someone else
