I Don't Get it

You say how the joke's on me
So why don't I get it?
You say how you're happy and free
And try not to forget it
Too many read the magazines
To be a step ahead
And all of us have fun alive
And we feel like being dead
You know you can't help what they made you
You know you can't help what you are
You know you can't help what they made you
You know you can't help what you are
She's in love with her own image
And cares what others think
He don't know quite what he is
Can't find the missing link
Make up your mind who you're gonna be
Then try to remember
Hope is love and love is deceit
And success is never
You know you can't help what they made you
You know you can't help what you are
You know you can't help what they made you
You know you can't help what you are
You say how the joke's on me
So why don't I get it?
You say how you're happy and free
And try not to forget it
Too many read the magazines
To be a step ahead
And all of us have fun alive
And we feel like being dead
You know you can't help what they made you
You know you can't help what you are
You know you can't help what they made you
You know you can't help what you are
