The Same Person

You want prosperity
For yourself, but not for me
Somehow you just can't see
We're in this collectively
You think that freedom is
A drastic severance
From your past relations
Just a quest for new bargains

We're not the same person
We're not the same person (Don't even want to know)
Whoa

Don't need no good advice
Nor shoddy merchandise
I'm the suspect device
Beaten down, unable to strike

We're not the same person
We're not the same person (Don't even want to know)
Whoa

We lament, we pine, and we rescind
And we ask for understanding
But aren't we the stingy ones indeed
When it's needed from us in the end?
We watch the days go by
So few ever ask why
But so many just abuse the design

We're not the same person
We're not the same person (Don't even want to know)
Whoa
