Copy Of A

i am just a copy of a copy of a copy
everything i say has come before
assembled into something into something into something
i don't know for certain anymore
i am just a shadow of a shadow of a shadow
always trying to catch up with myself
i am just an echo of an echo of an echo
listening to someone's cry for help

look what you had to start
why all the change of heart?
you need to play your part
a copy of a copy of a
now look what you've gone and done
well that doesn't sound like fun
see i'm not the only one
copy of a copy of a

i am little pieces little pieces little pieces
pieces that we picked up on the way
imprinted with a purpose with a purpose with a purpose
a purpose that's become quite clear today

i am just a finger on a trigger on a finger
doing everything i'm told to do
always my intention my intention your attention
doing everything you tell me to

look what you had to start
why all the change of heart?
you need to play your part
a copy of a copy of a
now look what you've gone and done
well that doesn't sound like fun
see i'm not the only one
copy of a copy of a
