  • Your mommy told you this and your daddy told you that
    Always think like this and never do that
    You learned so many feelings but what is there to that
    Which are really yours or are you just a copycat?

    Your school told you this and your church told you that
    Memorize this and don't you dare look at that
    They're all so concerned to make their thoughts into yours
    Just a tape recorder mimicking of the bores

    You're so boring, boring, boring
    Always tape machine recording
    You're so boring, boring, boring
    I've heard all this before

    Planless and mindless scraps from anywhere
    Bunch of used parts from garbage pails everywhere
    Frankenstein became a monster just like you
    Your scars only show when someone talks to you

    You're so boring, boring, boring
    Always tape machine recording
    You're so boring, boring, boring
    I've heard all this before
    I've heard all this before
    I've heard all this before

    Your emotions make you a monster
    Your emotions make you a monster
    Your emotions make you a monster
    Your emotions make you a monster Writer/s: Darren Henley, Eric Reed Boucher, Geoffrey Lyall, Raymond John Pepperelle
