Tick, tick, tick,

Tick the box where you belong. 

Check it off and confine yourself. 

 

Do you fit in? No?

Well we'll find you a place. 

That's our motto after all;

"you've got a name, you've got a place"

 

What's that? You don't have a name?!

Perhaps you don't belong, after all...

 

Doctor, doctor, come, come quick. 

There's a girl here and I think she is sick. 

Sick, why yes,

For she doesn't have a name. 

 

I don't know how she has survived for so long,

It's crazy, I know,

But this girl doesn't belong. 

 

We have some masks to hide your shame,

And maybe then we'll give you a name. 

Put this on, a smile so wide,

That looks better, it's easier to hide. 

 

Perhaps some makeup? Yes, that will do,

Now we start off with the shoe. 

Something that's old, but still all together new,

Something to create a past for the new you. 

 

Next for the clothes, something less plain and bland,

Follow me, I'll give you a hand. 

What's that you say? You want to be in a band?

No, no, that won't do, it has to be something society can stand. 

 

Now look at that, you're looking the part,

Perfect and beautiful, my piece of art. 

Theres one thing that is missing, 

and I know what it is,

A voice so pretty,

He will want to make you his. 

 

What's that you say?

You don't like men!

No, no, no, that will not do,

You're a female, yes? So you must like men. 

 

How could you be such a disappointment?

All eyes were on you,

And I was actually proud.

Look how many smiles were in the crowd. 

 

What do you mean, this isn't you?

You are my creation,

No time to be an individual. 

You have not got a name,

You do not belong. 

 

Run you silly girl,

Destroy what has taken so long. 

Individual, what a word!

How could you return,

To a life not belonging?

How absurd!

 

Or is it so, that you do belong?

Somewhere out there,

Is another the same,

What am I thinking, it is just a game. 

 

Step up, step up to the podium, my dear

I will take another from the crowd,

And make them disappear. 

 

Next?!
