Hope You're Proud

Well I'm only human
I got one chance and that's it
I never asked to be stuck here
Or to run out of luck here
I gotta get out
Gotta stand up
'Cause I'm losing my mind
I want to scream at the world

I hope you're proud of yourself
I hope you're proud of yourself
I hope you're proud of yourself
What you're doing to me

Well I'm not nostalgic
But the future, it scares me
No sick days, no recess
No time out from the fallout
I'm hoping
And I'm praying
That the earth might stand still
So I can stand up and scream

I hope you're proud of yourself
I hope you're proud of yourself
I hope you're proud of yourself
What you're doing to me

And later on when the day is done
I'll reach for the Valium
And I'll dream about the kingdom come
All night

I'm not nervous, I'm just plain scared
I'm not frightened, I just don't care
Nothing much but I'm just plain scared
All right

I know that somewhere there's people
Deciding what's stylish
And they make me feel guilty
If I don't want to buy it
They tug at my trousers
And they kiss me through the TV
This techno perversion
Is oh so persuasive
I gotta get out
Gotta stand up
'Cause I'm losing my mind
I want to stand up and scream

I hope you're proud of yourself
I hope you're proud of yourself
I hope you're proud of yourself
What you're doing to me

I'm in heaven
I hope you're proud of yourself
Mechanical heaven
I hope you're proud of yourself
