Okay, this version is so badass. It sounds a lot more sarcastic than the original and lowkey condescending, and I seriously adore it so much. The singer sounds so subtly amused too and it adds so much to the song 🤎🤎🤎

I’m just a ten cent copy
Of people far more advanced than me
Every thought that I’ve ever had
Could be ripped from a magazine
Cut me a path, and I will follow it
Draw me a line, and I’ll avoid it
I’m nothing if not obedient
You have my word
You have my word
I am an empty page
A muddled shade of paint
I am a light that’s burning out
I am a light that’s burning out
I have hands that shake
When there are cuts to make
You’ll do it better, show me how
You’ll do it better, show me how
Oh, ah-ah-ah
Oh, ah-ah-ah
Ah-o, ah-o
Oh, ah-ah-ah
Oh, ah-ah-ah
Ah-o, ah-o
Tie me up by my callow belief (Oooooooh)
Someday I’ll make something out of me (Oooooooh)
Years of imitating mastery (Oooooooh-ooooh!-ooooh...)
Only made me a better thief (Oooooooh)
I am an empty page
A muddled shade of paint
I am a light that’s burning out
I am a light that’s burning out
I have hands that shake
When there are cuts to make
You’ll do it better, show me how
You’ll do it better, show me how
Oh, ah-ah-ah
Oh, ah-ah-ah
Ah-o, ah-o
Oh, ah-ah-ah
Oh, ah-ah-ah
Ah-o, ah-o
I am an empty page
A muddled shade of paint
I am a light that’s burning out
I am a light that’s burning out
I have hands that shake
When there are cuts to make
You’ll do it better, show me how
You’ll do it better, show me how
Oh, ah-ah-ah
Oh, ah-ah-ah
Ah-o, ah-o
Oh, ah-ah-ah
Oh, ah-ah-ah
Ah-o, ah-o
Oh, ah-ah-ah
Oh, ah-ah-ah
Ah-o...
[Cheers]
Thank you!
