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 severence
from your past relations, just a quest for new bargains

we're not the same person
we're not the same person
(don't you ever wanna know)
wooohhh

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 you ever wanna know)
wooohhh

and the [bad word] over us again
we lament, we pine, and we rescind
and we ask for understanding
but aren't we the stingy ones indeed
when it's asked of us in the end?

we watch the days go [bad word] and then we die
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 you ever wanna know)
wooohhh

we're not the same person
we're not the same person
(don't you ever wanna know)
wooohhh
