What you are isn't who you are What you do is what makes up you What you wear isn't to declare I've made this world a better place just being here What you shout doesn't give you clout It's striking with the gloves that wins the bouts When you are wrapped up in you You blind yourself to how the world needs you Can your identity pick up the pieces of them Starving on the sidewalk waiting for bread Your concerns are your concerns because you are overfed. Your self obsession is another tombstone in the garden of the dead If you trip and fall the universe won't heed your call You are the master of none and only one

What you are isn't who you are What you do is what makes up you What you wear isn't to declare I've made this world a better place just being here What you shout doesn't give you clout It's striking with the gloves that wins the bouts When you are wrapped up in you You blind yourself to how the world needs you Can your identity pick up the pieces of them Starving on the sidewalk waiting for bread Your concerns are your concerns because you are overfed. Your self obsession is another tombstone in the garden of the dead If you trip and fall the universe won't heed your call You are the master of none and only one
