Imitation Of Life Lyrics - Among The Living - Anthrax

There's nothing I hate more, than all these plastic people 

With all their plastic promises, and all there plastic deals 

They just can't be themselves, and live their own lives out 

They're just an imitation of what life's all about 

"Because of me you are who you are 

So sign your name and you'll go for 

I'm your friend, I think you should 

So sign your name, it's for your own good" 

How many times have you heard this today??? 

Some bogus piss-on saying "let's do lunch babe" 

For them this bullshit, that's their whole life 

Cut through their bullshit with a knife 

Imitation of life 

Oh, oh, oh 

Anger burns 

Whatever happened to the guy I knew 

A media creation, a monster grew 

Our story had an unhappy end 

But this could change, I still call him friend 

"Take my advice, and listen to me 

A great opportunity, can't you see 

I only want what's best for you 

The deal of a lifetime, what more can I do" 

How many times have you heard this today? 

Some stupid sucker says "it's great, we love ya babe" 

For them this bullshit, it's their whole life 

Cut through their bullshit with a knife 

Imitation of life 

Oh, oh, oh 

Anger burns 

Bands dress like women with hairspray and lace 

I'd pass an image law, stick it in your face! 

Let's see how long they keep dressing this way 

Wearing this image twenty four hours a day! 

Did you ever think for yourself?? 

Just once, did you ever think?? 

That's all I want to know 

Imitation of life, living out a lie 

You'll never be right, imitation of life 

Why are you here??, you're taking up my space 

The new imperfect race, imitation of life 

Oh, oh, oh 

Anger burns 

Whatever happened to the guy I knew 

A media creation, a monster grew 

Our story had a unhappy end 

But this could change, I still call him friend 

There's nothing I hate more 

Than all these plastic people 

With all their plastic promises 

And all their plastic deals 

They just can't be themselves 

And live their own lives out 

They're just an imitation 

Of what life's all about 

Imitation of life!
