Lyrics
I am just a copy of a copy of a copy Everything I say has come before Assembled into something into something into something I don't know for certain anymore I am just a shadow of a shadow of a shadow Always trying to catch up with myself I am just an echo of an echo of an echo Listening to someone's cry for help Look what you had to start Why all the change of heart? You need to play your part A copy of a copy of a Now look what you've gone and done Well that doesn't sound like fun See I'm not the only one Copy of a copy of a I am little pieces little piece little pieces Pieces that we picked up on the way Imprinted with a purpose with a purpose with a purpose A purpose that's become quite clear today I am just a finger on a trigger on a finger Doing everything I'm told to do Always my intention my intention your attention Doing everything you tell me to Look what you had to start Why all the change of heart? You need to play your part A copy of a copy of a Now look what you've gone and done Well that doesn't sound like fun See I'm not the only one Copy of a copy of a
