Look into my eyes, what do you see? Cult of Personality I know your anger, I know your dreams I've been everything you want to be I'm the Cult of Personality Like Mussolini and Kennedy I'm the Cult of Personality Cult of Personality Cult of Personality
Neon lights, A Nobel Price The mirror speaks, the reflection lies You don't have to follow me Only you can set me free I sell the things you need to be I'm the smiling face on your T.V. I'm the Cult of Personality I exploit you still you love me
I tell you one and one makes three I'm the Cult of Personality Like Joseph Stalin and Gandi I'm the Cult of Personality Cult of Personality Cult of Personality
Neon lights a Nobel Prize A leader speaks, that leader dies You don't have to follow me Only you can set you free

Baby you stole my heart I don't know what to do Got one problem on my mind Do you feel the way I do?
I want to know Give me a sign girl Open your heart and tell me that you're mine When you walk down the street The cats don't even make a noise They worship at your feet Acting like little boys
I'm standing in the shadows baby
I got one thing that's on my mind Gonna make you love me baby If it takes the rest of my life
I want to know Give me a sign girl Open your heart and tell me that you're mine
It takes a lot of guts to show you how I feel About you Just say the words and let me know it's real Or is it just a dream...
I'm very patient baby And I've got a lot of time I can see a clear horizon You and me standing side by side
I don't have a need to be the best Don't want to be just like the rest Just stay who I am Just an ordinary Middle Man Give me the happy medium Don't want to be the one whose leading them I've got no master plan Just a simple Middle Man
Standing on a fine line between this and that Just biding my time waiting for a sign To tell me that I'm something special
My ideas are mine alone Not yours, not theirs, but I care I hurt for you, but not with you I love that thing that's inside you But I'm not your fan I'm a stranger in a strange land I'm your Middle Man
But I'm not your fan I'm a stranger in a strange land I am your Middle Man
I see you crying in the sunshine I hear you laughing in the rain You say you can't tell any difference Between the pleasure and the pain
You say you never ever dream at night time You say you only dream when you're awake And say that T.V. looks like your life And the life you lead is fake
Desperate People Desperate People
You get your sunshine from a tab of paper Then you're sitting in a spinning room The clock is tocking and it's laughing at you your life's a mystery without a clue
The crowd you're in thinks you're so amusing They're oh so flattering and so sincere They stand and laugh as they watch you crumble And when you cry for help they don't hear
Desperate People Desperate People
You feel the earth revolving You see the sun dissolving You hear the night calling out to you You have no direction and you have no protection What you gonna do when your trip turns blue? When you come crashing down and there's no help around You need friends, you need help But first you have to help yourself
The music stops and the party's over The money's gone and your crowd is too Can't break the chains that have kept you under Has the monkey got the best of you?
I see you crying in the sunshine I hear you laughing in the rain You say you can't tell any difference Between the pleasure and the pain
Now you can tear a building down But you can't erase a memory These houses may look all run down But they have a value you can't see
This is my neighborhood This is where I come from I call this place my home You call this place a slum You wanna run the people out This is what you're all about Treat poor people just like trash Turn around and make big cash
Now you can tear a building down But you can't erase a memory These houses may look all run down But they have a value you can't see
Last month there was a fire I saw seven children die You sent flowers to their families But your sympathy's a lie 'Cause every building that you burn Is more blood money that you earn We are forced to relocate From the pain that you create
Now you can tear a building down But you can't erase a memory These houses may look all run down But they have a value you can't see Now you can tear a building down But you can't erase a memory These houses may look all run down But they have a value you can't see
We lived here for so many years Now this house is full of fear For a profit you will take control Where will all the older people go? There used to be when kids could play Without the scourge of drug's decay Now our kids are living dead They crack and blow their lives away
Now you can tear a building down But you can't erase a memory These houses may look all run down But they have a value you can't see Now you can tear a building down But you can't erase a memory These houses may look all run down But they have a value you can't see
You've got to fight You've got to fight You've got to fight For your neighborhood
I see the fragments of the dreams I used to have And bits of aspiration lying in the sand The stained glass wall of love that I cannot see through Provides the only light here in my lonely room
A breeze reminds me of the changing time and place A tear that takes forever rolls down your timeless face
I hear that they say that broken hearts will mend But when they do they're never good as new I wish right now I could change it back I never meant to do the things I did to hurt you
I never really thought that it would come to this Sometimes the things you lose are often the things you miss I see the reason for things I used to do They're all transparent now and so I see the truth I hear they say that broken hearts will men But when they do they're never good as new I wish right now that I could change it back I know you don't believe but I care about you And I never meant to do those things I did to hurt you
The glamour boys swear they are a diva The glamour boys have it all under control Always dancing and always laughing The glamour boys are playing the role
The glamour boys never have no money The glamour boys wear the most expensive clothes The glamour boys are always at the party Where the money comes from heaven only knows
I ain't no glamour boy - I'M FIERCE I ain't no glamour boy - (snap) I ain't no glamour boy - I'M FIERCE I ain't no glamour boy
The glamour boys live off their ambition The glamour boys have it all figured out A very, very dubious position When you got no clout
The glamour boys whole life is a gamble They might get over or fall flat on their face But if one does, there's no need to worry Another G-Boy will take this place
I ain't no glamour boy - I'M FIERCE
The glamour boys don't think tomorrow The glamour boys just need tonight to play But just like things you can't afford on credit Time catches up and you have to pay
The glamour boys are always on the guest list You'll always find them in the hottest spots in town They'll be your friend if you have fame or fortune If you don't they won't be hanging 'round
I don't have a need to be the best Don't want to be just like the rest Just stay who I am Just an ordinary Middle Man Give me the happy medium Don't want to be the one whose leading them I've got no master plan Just a simple Middle Man
Standing on a fine line between this and that Just biding my time waiting for a sign To tell me that I'm something special
My ideas are mine alone Not yours, not theirs, but I care I hurt for you, but not with you I love that thing that's inside you But I'm not your fan I'm a stranger in a strange land I'm your Middle Man
But I'm not your fan I'm a stranger in a strange land I am your Middle Man
