A Self-made Man (Letra)

If he don’t wanna talk
Leave him alone
If he don’t wanna talk
Leave him alone
He’s a self-made man, he did it on his own

Now some folks say there’ s a dangerous side
Some folks say he’s got a danger side
He’s a self-made man, he knows about pride

So help me baby, look what love can do
It scares me baby, does it scare you too?

Some folks say it was a woman he knew
So me folks say it was a woman he knew
He’s a self-made man, he knows how to lose

So help me baby, look what love can do
It scares me baby, does it scare you too?

I’ve worked so hard, like hyde on the chaos theory
I’ve found my madness quite complete
No sign of light or love divine intervention
While i was scoring on your street
I am the demon of your darkest thoughts
Wired to self destruct
A greedy, nasty, selfish little man
Who could never have or get too much

*
But if the very thought makes you shiver
I am just one of the many lost
And i will change the course of the river
And never stop to count the cost

**
But everythings light on a sunday
The choir singing all in tune
But such a small congregation
Will someone send up the balloon

***
Oh i’m a self made man
The fruits of yes you can
Oh i’m a self made man
And i’ll take what i can

Out of the darkness and into the light
See the army grow and grow
And like a storm, a reign of terror
This ill wind will blow and blow

Repeat *

I’ll take great pride and pleasure in your misery
And delight in your living hell
There’s no known act of human kindnes left
My very mother i would sell

I’m not uncouthed, but educated
Now isn’t that a scary thing
And elected to a place of power
Your slavery will be my sting

Repeat *

Repeat **

Repeat *** twice

We’re living in a dump
Trying to figure out what sex we are
Exchanging chromosomes
Trying to bargain for a better future
Well i’ll trade you my potential mental illness
For your bad teeth
How ‘bout trading your sexy body for a full head of hair
Well we can’t predict the future
But we’re trying to do the best that we can
My cards are on the table
I’m gambling everything that i am
And some of us are hoping
To end up with a perfect life
I’ll trade you everything that i got
For the chance to be someone else
But what you see is what you get
And what you give is what you choose
And what i am
What you see
Is exactly what i chose to be

Now we got a black market
Black market in designer genes
Most beautiful, most intelligent criminals you’ve ever seen
Now you’re paying top dollar
For what you used to get for free
They’ll stun you with their looks
And charm you with effortless ease

They’ve taken everything from you
The way you walk
The way you smile
The sound of your voice
Don’t even know who you are
Who are you now?
Who are you now?

I’m a self made man, i’m a self-made man
I’m a self-made man (i got nothing left to give)
I’m a self-made man (i got nothing left to lose)

On down the hallway
The freaks are waiting for you
Somebody calls me
The freaks are waiting for you
And the clown will laugh in your face
Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho
The clown will laugh in your face
Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho
The clown will laugh in your face
