[Verse 1]:
Some people live off other people's dreams
Reciting lines in someone else's scene
They reach the sky, never touch the dirt
Some other guy does all the work
[Chorus]:
Imitation
Imitation
[Verse 2]:
Some people crave uncle's pumpkin pie
They got the fruit, ain't got the spice
Do all they can, take the recipe
Then take the prize for originality
[Chorus]:
Imitation, oh no, it's not for me
Imitation, oh no, it's not for me
Monkey, don't mess around with me
Flunky, what's mine is mine to keep
I got a '45 that's itching to release
[Verse 3]:
Some people see with other people's eyes
They wish they came from a different drive
Spent so much time, taking from afar
They never know just who they are
[Chorus]:
Imitation
Imitation
[Verse 4]:
Some people think similarity
Is just a form of flattery
I'm sorry man, I cannot agree
I'm not impressed by the common thief
[Chorus]:
Imitation, oh no, it's not for me
Imitation, oh no, it's not for me
Monkey, don't mess around with me
Flunkey, what's mine is mine to keep
I got a '45 that's itching to release
Boom, boom!
Imitation
