A Self-Made Man

We're living in a dump
Tryna figure out what sex we are
Exchanging chromosomes
Tryna 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 tryna do the best that we can
My cards are on the table
I'm gambling everything that I have

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 (what you see)
Is exactly what I chose to be

And now we got a black market
Black market in designer genes
The 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
