Lyrics:
Some of us are wild ones, ever under wanted, I believe
Lining up in the background,
Waiting for the crowd shot to be seen
In the shadow of the big screen,
Everybody begs to be redeemed
Hey! I'm not Synthetica
I'll keep the life that I've got
We were never meant to crawl in for the bait,
We never will
I can think for myself,
I've got something no pill could ever kill
Hey! I'm not Synthetica, oh
I'll keep the life that I've got, oh
So hard, hard to resist Synthetica, oh
No drug is stronger than me, Synthetica
We're all the time confined to fit the mold
But I won't ever let them make a loser of my soul
Hey! I'm not Synthetica, oh
I'll keep the life that I've got, oh
I'll keep the life that I've got
I'll keep the life that I've got
I'll keep the life that I've got
