David Gray Lyrics
What Are You?

What are you becoming? 
What have you become? 
Once you sang your own song 
Now you're dancing to the same drum 
What have you become? 

And what is that you're wearing? 
Money's ugly confidence 
You sacrificed the poem of your imagination 
For these pounds and pence 
Me I take the cynic's role 
Throw scorn on your empty mind 
I seen this monotonous world 
Make dull what used to shine 
You lost interest 
You lost your spine 
Oh Thats fine fine fine (Yeah!) 
Bye bye bye bye 

When there' nothing left 
On this plate you're handed 
You find yourself running the gauntlet 
Of all of these double standards 
It's very thin ice over which you're skating (woah!) 
And after this black winter the thaw 

So What are you 
Tell me tell me
What are you 
And what have you
Become?!
