Shontelle - Plastic People lyrics

rate me

{Verse 1}

Carry me home away from all these things

That keep deceiving me

I’m all alone nowhere no one

To show me where to go

Take my money wear my shirt

Using me to do your dirt

Judging me when all the time

You’re the one that did the crime

Someone tell me what’s the truth

Save the children, save the youth

What about our hopes and dreams

You’re not what you really seem oh

{Chorus}

Nation of the plastic people

Here’s the church and here’s its people

Preaching good and doing evil

Trying to treat you less than equal

Saying this and meaning that

Twisting up into your back

Don’t be cast into the sequel

Living in a nation of plastic people (plastic people)

{Verse 2}

You’re just like a rose I wanna grow

So I can serve my purpose here

I wanna fly before I die

Be like a bird and touch the sky

Take my home, and take my name

Generation cellophane

There’s no difference all the same

I don’t know when I’m ashamed

Can you walk inside my shoes?

Don’t be mad if I refuse

Artificial attributes,

Different leaders same old news

{Chorus}

{Verse 3}

What do you know,

It’s a situation begging for salvation

Looking to the sky to answer to all my frustration

There’s a choice I’m making

And there’s a chance I’ll take it

It’s the only life I got to live so I can’t fake it

Yeeaahhh

Ohhhh

Generation.

Restoration.

Demonstration.

Provocation.

Population.

Segregation.

Isolation.

Suffocation.

Degradation.

Desolation.

Living in a plastic nation.

{Chorus}

Generation.

Restoration.

Demonstration.

Provocation.

Population.

Segregation.

Isolation.

Suffocation.

Destination of the nation.

Generation.

Desolation.

Living in a plastic nation.

Living in a plastic nation.
