If you wanna be free

Then I want you to be

You're not mine anymore

You're public property



You're a slave to these people

Who don't even know you

You think they adore you

They do then they throw you away



Give the people what they want

You've got to give

The people what they want

Got to give

The people what they want

You can shine all alone

But you still need your friends

To remind you you're nothing

Unless you're plugged in



'Cause, baby, the truth is

You need their approval

They tell you you're cool

Hey, but look how you're paid for and



Give the people what they want

You've got to give

The people what they want

Got to give 

The people what they want

Oh, is that what you are?

There must be thousands of you



So your time is in crumbs now

Your image is dumbed down

You're full of it now 

What about when it runs out?



'Cause maybe you'll come back

And maybe I'll be here

You're already gone so just go

'Cause they're waiting for you



Yeah you



You've got to give

The people what they want

Got to give

The people what they want



La, da, da...



Oh, is that what you are....?
