Plastic People - Shontelle

Carry me home, away from all these things

That keep deceiving me

I’m all alone, nowhere, no one

To show me where to go

Take my money, wear my shirt

Using me to do your dirt

Judging me when all the time

You’re the one who did the crime

Someone tell me what’s the truth?

Save the children, save the youth

What about our hopes and dreams?

You’re not what you really seem

Nation of the plastic people

Here’s the church and here’s the steeple

Preaching good and doing evil

Trying to treat you less than equal

Saying this and meaning that

Twist a knife into your back

Don’t be cast into the sequel

Living in a nation of plastic people

You’re just like a rose, I wanna grow

So I can serve my purpose here

I wanna fly before I die

Be like a bird and touch the sky

Take my home and take my name

Generation cellophane

There’s no difference, all the same

I don’t know when I’m ashamed

Can you walk inside my shoes?

Don’t be mad if I refuse

Artificial attributes

Different leaders, same old news

Nation of the plastic people

Here’s the church and here’s the steeple

Preaching good and doing evil

Trying to treat you less than equal

Saying this and meaning that

Twist a knife into your back

Don’t be cast into the sequel

Living in a nation of plastic people

Want you to know, it’s a situation begging for salvation

Look into the sky and answer to all my frustration

There’s a choice I’m making

If there’s a chance, I’ll take it

It’s the only life I got to live, so I can’t fake it

Generation, desperation, demonstration, provocation

Population, segregation, isolation, suffocation

Degradation, desolation, living in a plastic nation

Nation of the plastic people

Here’s the church and here’s the steeple

Preaching good and doing evil

Trying to treat you less than equal

Saying this and meaning that

Twist a knife into your back

Don’t be cast into the sequel

Living in a nation of plastic people

Generation, desperation, demonstration, provocation

Population, segregation, isolation, suffocation

Degradation, desolation destination of the nation

Degradation, desolation, living in a plastic nation
