Lyrics
Mike was right when he said I’d put up A fight to be someone, a fight to be me But see now, I’m down Under the pavement Of Capitals hills and lowercase people As time rolls by my dreams have become That which is attainable Now what I’m looking for!

I’ve got the company car I’m the one swinging at two below par Yeah, I’ve become one with the ones That I’ve never believed in But I’ve got the company car

(Hey) I’m the king of things I’ve always despised I’m the gingerbread man Who got eaten alive I’m half baked! I’m fake! But see I’ve got hotels on Park Place and Boardwalk And two hundred bucks I pass go but, oh! Life’s taken it’s toll Have I won monopoly to forfeit my soul?

All the kings horses At the foot of the wall They’re taking pictures of The man who’s last all of his Masks of pretension He’s got two faces left His is the one that he hides On the left behind that smile

Hiding tears and fear That burn like an engine It drives him away From the ones that he loves Mike was right: “Hey Mike! We’re one and the same; We’re the faceless combatants in the loneliest game”

Ah but say, I’ll wave as I’m driving by With that smirk in my eye, yelling “Hey, I’m something man, check me out!”
