Lyrics

Identity!
Identity is the crisis, can't you see?
Identity, identity
When you look in the mirror, do you see yourself?
Do you see yourself on the TV screen?
Do you see yourself in the magazine?
When you see yourself, does it make you scream?
Identity is the crisis, can't you see?
Identity, identity
Yeah!
Identity is the crisis, can't you see?
Identity, identity
When you look in the mirror, do you smash it quick?
Do you take the glass and slash your wrists?
Did you do it for fame? Did you do it in a fit?
Did you do it before you read about it?
Identity is the crisis, can't you see?
Identity, identity
Yeah!
