^{Verse 1} Carry me home away from all these things That keep deceiving me I'm all alone nowhere no one To show me where to go Take my money wear my shirt Using me to do your dirt Judging me when all the time You're the one that did the crime Someone tell me what's the truth Save the children, save the youth What about our hopes and dreams You're not what you really seem oh ^Chorus Nation of the plastic people Here's the church and here's its people Preaching good and doing evil Trying to treat you less than equal Saying this and meaning that Twisting up into your back Don't be cast into the sequel Living in a nation of plastic people (plastic people) ^{Verse 2} You're just like a rose I wanna grow So I can serve my purpose here I wanna fly before I die Be like a bird and touch the sky Take my home, and take my name Generation cellophane There's no difference all the same I don't know when I'm ashamed Can you walk inside my shoes? Don't be mad if I refuse Artificial attributes, Different leaders same old news ^{Chorus Verse 3} What do you know, It's a situation begging for salvation Looking to the sky to answer to all my frustration There's a choice I'm making And there's a chance I'll take it It's the only life I got to live so I can't fake it Yeeaahhh Ohhhh Generation. Desperaton. Demonstration. Provocation. Population. Segregation. Isolation. Suffocation. Degradation. Desolation. Living in a plastic nation. ^Chorus Generation. Desperaton. Demonstration. Provocation. Population. Segregation. Isolation. Suffocation. Destination of the nation. Generation. Desolation. Living in a plastic nation. Living in a plastic nation.
