Once there were two very similar men
standing side by side, all involved in their things
oh, one became sure of his greater cause
bouncing the other way and left one evolved

Hey, golden boy with your hair hanging down
what would you long the way you throw it around?
what will you do when all the gold turns to gray?
make your the wig you wear, and make you look young again

Oh, just to be another plastic superhero, oh, I'd love
all bright colors and, man, I'd wear myself a big zero right in the middle
of my chest, and I'd have a cape that I'd fly around in, oh, to be
a plastic man, saving other plastic people from their troubles

Then came a boy, he came swooping on down
took out his ray gun and split everyone torn
why not believe that a good god will save us all?
because then you won't save yourself, and that's the only way to go

And only then all my greatness would shine
I'd have a plastic head and plastic arms and a plastic asshole to combine it all
away, away I would go, I'd flew, fly through the plastic sky
and make all the best of the world with my beautiful, blue, plastic eyes

And maybe then all the world would lie
maybe I'd make it as we dip ourselves down in an ocean
made of lime-colored bubbles and good times, oh, free love
and we'd roll it away, oh, I'd have a plastic lullaby
