What Are You? — текст песни (David Gray)

What are you becoming?
What have you become?
Once you sang your own song
Now you`re dancing to the same drum
What have you become?

And what is that you`re wearing?
Money`s ugly confidence
You sacrificed the poem of your imagination
For these pounds and pence
Me I take the cynic`s role
Throw scorn on your empty mind
I seen this monotonous world
Make dull what used to shine
You lost interest
You lost your spine
Oh Thats fine fine fine (Yeah!)
Bye bye bye bye

When there` nothing left
On this plate you`re handed
You find yourself running the gauntlet
Of all of these double standards
It`s very thin ice over which you`re skating (woah!)
And after this black winter the thaw

So What are you
Tell me tell me
What are you
And what have you
Become?!
