Original Concept - Cover Girl lyrics

[Intro] Hey kids! Gather around, I want to tell you something Yeah, 1, 2, 1 2 3 4 [Verse 1] Stop being the print and start being the painting I'll never look at this as if it's a game again Copies of copies, when did distinction become a sin? With conformity let's see how far we can walk in someone else's shoes Because their success is our success To what, to what ending? With them you rise, and with them you fall Without them you are lost How does it feel to be responsible for being pollution? I said Ow does it feel to be responsible for being pollution? But you still claim to be original I've seen your kind before You justify your fakeness by making false claims about your sound and who you are To what ending? I've seen so many like you before That's all you'll be unless you [Chorus] Stop being the print of someone else's painting Stop being the print, stop being the print, stop being the print Stop being the print of someone else's painting It's time that you forgot about copycats and chasing tails Stop being the print of someone else's painting Because in the end you'll amount to be a kid without a brush No one in this generation has any originality No one is trying and we're all becoming (WIth conformity all you will amount to be is) Lazy We're all lazy Don't copy instead of create To what ending To what ending now? You've abused the system and made this a mess, and I can't help but be bitter Stop being the print of someone else's painting It's time that you forgot about copycats and chasing tails Stop being the print of someone else's painting Because in the end you'll amount to be a kid without a brush Stop being the print of someone else's painting There's no room for copycats and chasing tails No one is being anything in this generation Don't be that kid without the brush When I was a young boy, my mamma said to me "Son, don't be like the other boys. Just follow your own feet." I said, "Mamma, don't you be afraid. Don't worry about a thing, because when I grow up I'm going to be an artist and not a cover girl." Don't be the print of someone else's painting Stop being the print Start being the painting
