The mirror never lies 
And neither does the face 
Of a man who doesn't know where his place is 
This man and his shadow 
Know exactly where they're going 
Straight to hell in all it's glory 
With the rest of it all 

I set myself up 
So that I can set myself apart 
And find another way 
On this planet I call my home 
I'll be an island 

I'll rent a revolution 
And sell my soul to the cause 
As a million footsteps march in my parade 
And I'll buy the moon, a bomb 
And aim it straight at number one 
Cause nobody really wants a revolution to come 

I set myself up 
So that I can see what's going on 
And never be like you 
If you have any questions 
Feel free to make up your mind 
On this planet here right now 
There's a place for everyone to just be 
On this planet here right now 
There's no place I'd rather be 

I set myself up 
So that I can see what's going on 
And never be like you 
If you have any questions 
Feel free to make up your mind 
On this planet I call my home 
I'll be an island
