  • Every day my metal friend

    Shakes my bed at six am

    Then the shiny serving clones

    Run in with my telephones

    Talking fast I make a deal

    Buy the fake and sell what?s real

    What?s this pain here in my chest?

    Maybe I should take a rest

    They send the heart police

    To put you under Cardiac arrest

    And as they drag you the door

    They tell you that you?ve failed the test

    Living in the

    Living in the plastic age

    Looking only half my age

    Hello doctor lift my face

    I wish my skin could stand the pace

    In the bed I read my mind

    Remember how the mice were blind

    I watch them fighting in their cage

    Could this be the plastic age?

    They send the heart police

    To put you under Cardiac arrest

    And as they drag you the door

    They tell you that you?ve failed the test

    Living in the plastic age

    Plastic age, plastic age

    They send the heart police

    To put you under Cardiac arrest

    And as they drag you the door

    They tell you that you?ve failed the test

    Living in the plastic age

    Plastic age, plastic age Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
