Look mama they stole my song
They told me it would always happen before too long
Look mama they did it again
God damn these people were supposed to be my friends
And now my baby's left me, sounds so empty
But what am I to do?
Look mama they stole my song
They told me it would always happen before too long
Life isn't quite what it seems
Behind the glamorous scenes
Dreams can be shattered and bleed
No-one's your friend, so it's true
They want the most out of you
Then let you go when they're through
Your cigarette smoke chases angels
Choking so that they will never tell
Despicable truth will live and die with me
But you dare come after my own baby
Pray someone will come and save thee
Consequence will surely let you see it can't be
Look mama they stole my song

But what am I to do?
Look mama they stole my song
They told me it would always happen before too long
Now you can see through the veil
My dear, you seem so pale
We're waiting to see you fail
How did it end up like this?
A land so twisted and sick
Dependent on your big hit
You ain't no-one until you know someone
Sell your soul create a new one
Hype machine will make it the next entity
But you dare come after my own baby
Pray someone will come and save thee
Consequence will surely let you see it can't be

But what am I to do?
Look mama they stole my song
They told me it would always happen before too long
Frosty Winter turns to May
It turns out you are all the same
Creeping up to get ahead
Regardless who is in your bed
Sleepy Springtime turns to June
They'll know this song is about you
A corporate mask to hide behind
A poet with an axe to grind
