Verse 1:
Plastic man - in a plastic ocean
Swimmin’ in a sea of counterfeit emotion
Clings to a notion - that all he sees
Is all there is and all that there will ever be
Verse 2:
Plastic man - in a plastic field
A thousand bushels of superficiality it yields
Truth concealed - thinks all is fine
Doesn't realize that his clock is running out of time
Chorus:
Plastic man - what do you feel?
Plastic man - you still haven’t found what’s real
Verse 3:
Plastic man - in a plastic house
Traded his dignity to turn into a spineless louse
Bitterness sprouts - begins to choke
A helpless feeling it is surely to invoke
Verse 4:
Plastic man - in a plastic city
A world where the surface is the only thing that’s pretty
It’s a pity - for it to end this way
But everybody knows that plastic simply melts away
Chorus:
Plastic man - what do you feel?
Plastic man - you still haven’t found what’s real
Plastic man - what do you feel
Plastic man - you still haven’t found what’s real
Instrumental:
Outro:
Plastic man
You’re stuck in a black hole
Plastic man
I pity your acrylic soul
