Ad And Subtract Lyrics

I don't want to see it

But that choice is never mine to make

Because everywhere I turn

There's something telling me who I am

What I should think and what I need to do

To do to be accepted, to do to be a man

With new billboard screens

With text as big as me

Because we all know

Your brain reads every word you see

Demographics show

We're incapable

Of thinking alone

If that's true, then who are we?

Identity in question

Who would we be without the influence

Of things that we don't need?

So analyze, re-naturalize

It's foreign to think, but ask yourselves have we

Have we ever really relied on ourselves?

Athletes and all of their sponsorships

Saying that we're all talentless

That we could never win

Unless we have all of their logos

Tattooed all over all of our clothes

We're doing ourselves in

Then I want out

Now we're walking billboards

Oh, what great advertisement

You support a product

And now we're products ourselves

Well I want to change

I want to go my separate way

Are we too far gone

To live our lives on our own?
