WHO AM I TODAY?

[Intro: spoken / shouted]

Wake up!

Get dressed!

Smile!

Perform!

Who am I today?

[Verse 1]

I got a face for the morning

And a face for the night

One for the camera

One for the fight

I got a name on a screen

And a number in a line

Everybody wants my picture

Nobody wants my time

My boss says, “Be yourself”

So I become somebody else

My phone says, “Know yourself”

Then it sells me to somebody else

[Pre-Chorus]

I bought the clothes

I bought the dream

I bought the version

Of me you’ve never seen

[Chorus: explosive]

WHO AM I TODAY?

WHO DO YOU WANT ME TO BE?

YOU SOLD ME MY FREEDOM

AND CHARGED ME A FEE!

WHO AM I TODAY?

WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?

I LOST MYSELF ONLINE

AND CALLED IT BEING FREE!

[Verse 2]

Five stars on my face

Five stars on my life

Everybody's perfect

Everybody's lying

Swipe me up

Swipe me down

Give me love

Give me a crown

I know what you like

You know what I buy

You know where I sleep

You know when I lie

You know my politics

You know my taste

You know my darkest secrets

You don't know my face

[Pre-Chorus]

I changed my hair

I changed my name

I changed my story

But I stayed the same

[Chorus: bigger]

WHO AM I TODAY?

WHO DO YOU WANT ME TO BE?

YOU SOLD ME MY FREEDOM

AND CHARGED ME A FEE!

WHO AM I TODAY?

WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?

I LOST MYSELF ONLINE

AND CALLED IT BEING FREE!

[Verse 3]

Eight hours at the office

Eight hours on the phone

Eight hours being useful

Then I go home alone

I dream about quitting

I dream about escape

Then I wake up Monday

And put on the same face

I want to burn the system

I want to disappear

But first I check my messages

And see who's looking here

[Bridge: stripped down]

Maybe I'm a product

Maybe I'm a brand

Maybe I'm a photograph

With a human underneath

Maybe I'm the customer

Maybe I'm the sale

Maybe I'm the prison

Maybe I'm the jailer

[Silence]

WHO AM I?

[Drums crash back in]

WHO AM I?

WHO AM I?

[Final Verse: furious]

I don't want your followers!

I don't want your fame!

I don't want your algorithm

To remember my name!

I don't want your future!

I don't want your lie!

I don't want to be beautiful

When everybody dies!

Give me something useless!

Give me something real!

Give me one dirty second

That nobody can steal!

[Final Chorus: full explosion]

WHO AM I TODAY?

WHO DO YOU WANT ME TO BE?

YOU SOLD ME MY FREEDOM

AND CHARGED ME A FEE!

WHO AM I TODAY?

I DON'T WANT TO KNOW!

KILL THE PERFECT IMAGE!

LET THE UGLY ME SHOW!

WHO AM I TODAY?

WHO AM I TODAY?

WHO AM I TODAY?

I DON'T KNOW!

I DON'T KNOW!

I DON'T KNOW!

[Outro: shouted, chaotic]

Turn it off!

Turn it off!

Turn it off!

Take my picture!

NO!

Take my data!

NO!

Take my money!

NO!

Take my name!

NO!

You can have my profile

BUT YOU CAN'T HAVE ME!

WHO AM I TODAY?!
