I want to be real
Not some conscience to myself
The way you worship, never ending
Some idol who´s pretending to be true
How you put upon yourself
A man who never seems
To answer to you words
So go and make me over

I´m a fly upon your neck
You can´t control me
I have my words, my voice
My strengths, my choice
And I can cut as deep
Just as deep as I need

Don´t want your advice
Cos I´ve made up my own mind
The way you bore me with the stories
Of far and distant times
I´ve heard it before
So don´t try that on me
The way you worship, never-ending
Some idol who´s pretending to be true
It could be you
Brainwashed by the lies
It´s no surprise
That you´d wanna waste your time

I´m a fly upon your neck
You can´t control me
I have my words, my voice
My strengths, my choice
And I can cut as deep
Just as deep as I need
