Dress the part, plagiarize
But you can't fake, you can't disguise
Flash in the pan, make believe
Sold your soul, so damn naive

Stealing from a generation
How do you sleep at night?
Disgrace the institution
Just a parasite

En Vogue, pretend
Follow the trend

Try your best, impersonate
Play your part, masquerade
Fool the young, play them well
Counterfeit shit, is what you sell

Stealing from a generation
How do you sleep at night?
Disgrace the institution
Useless parasite

En Vogue, pretend
Jump on the trend
En Vogue, pretend
Follow, follow the trend
(Hey man I think they're having a sale down at Hot Topic let's go!)

[Solo]

We bring it back, it's what they say
True to the core, so what were you yesterday?
False pretense, corporate lie
Ride your wave, and watch it die

Stealing from a generation
How do you sleep at night?
Disgrace the institution
Goddamn parasite

En Vogue, pretend
Jump on the trend
En Vogue, pretend
Follow, follow the trend
