You`re really something good, what`s got into you
This is the consequence of what you`ve led us to
These views are shaped by thoughts which you have never owned
You take all my opinions, claim them as your own
I don`t expect you`ll ever let yourself be told
No easy way to say it, you`ve been bought and sold
