lyrics

Where’s the chorus, where’s the verse?
Where’s the driver of the double-parked hearse?
Where’s the forest through all these trees?
Where’s the border of identity?

When you going to stand up straight?
When you going to see that it’s way past late?
When you going to come running back to me?
When will you miss your identity?

Who are you fooling except for yourself?
Who left those photos in the book on my shelf?
Who are you now, who will you be?
Who will assume your identity?
Oooooo, your identity.

Where’s the chorus, where’s the verse?
Where’s the phone that I left in your purse?
Where’s your proof? Can I see your degree?
Maybe your thesis on identity?

Oh a rich kid born on a pile of gold, a poor kid born in a room full of mould..
& what decides what their fate will be? It all comes down to their identity

We’re all born naked, free of definition, then comes judgement, rules & superstition,
but I can be you & you can be me, we can change our identities.
Oooooo, our identities

Where’s the chorus, where’s the verse?
Who’s got a garage that we can rehearse in?
Who’s got a room I can use for free, while I forge my new identity?

Where’s the saint amongst these boozers?
It’s easy to be lucky in a town full of losers.
It’s easy to just hit the road & be free... & set fire to your identity.

Read the Gnostic Gospels or a magazine..make yourself half man half machine.
It doesn’t matter now, can’t you see?
It’s just a brief identity.
Oooooo, just a brief identity.
