  • I am just a copy of a copy of a copy
    Everything I say has come before
    Assembled into something into something into something
    I don't know for certain anymore

    I am just a shadow of a shadow of a shadow
    Always trying to catch up with my self
    I am just an echo of an echo of an echo
    Listening to someone's cry for help

    Look what you had to start
    Why all the change of heart?
    You need to play your part
    A copy of a copy of a
    Now look what you've gone and done
    Well that doesn't sound like fun
    See I'm not the only one
    A copy of a copy of a

    I am little pieces, little pieces, little pieces
    Pieces that were picked up on the way
    Imprinted with a purpose, with a purpose, with a purpose
    A purpose that's become quite clear today

    Look what you had to start
    Why all the change of heart?
    You need to play your part
    A copy of a copy of a
    Now look what you've gone and done
    Well that doesn't sound like fun
    See I'm not the only one
    A copy of a copy of a

    I am just a finger on a trigger on a finger
    Doing everything I'm told to do
    Always my intention, my intention, your attention
    Just doing everything you tell me to

    Look what you had to start
    Why all the change of heart?
    You need to play your part
    A copy of a copy of a
    Now look what you've gone and done
    Well that doesn't sound like fun
    See I'm not the only one
    A copy of a copy of a

    Look what you had to start (look what you had to start)
    Why all the change of heart? (Why all the change of heart?)
    You need to play your part (you need to play your part)
    A copy of a copy of a (a copy of a copy of a)
    Now look what you've gone and done (now look what you've gone and done)
    Well that doesn't sound like fun (well that doesn't sound like fun)
    See I'm not the only one (see I'm not the only one)
    A copy of a copy of a (a copy of a copy of a) Writer/s: Trent Reznor
