She Said You Made a Thing of Me by Gang of Four Lyrics

She is an accident
Her shape's coincidence
He said she's beautiful
An invention that is useable

She will collaborate
He will embrace her fate
You made a thing of me
Don't feel, won't kneel, don't ask, won't steal

She said you made a thing of me
That what I am is what you see

Jailers get Valentines
Kidnappers, overtime
We're lost in nursery rhymes
Lock down, talk sport
Don't walk, get caught

She said you made a thing of me
That what I am is what you see
She said you made a thing of me
That what I am is what you see
Dress and undress codes are read
Then later, when the child is bred
She thinks about what was never said
Well I was glad to take what I was fed, I was glad

The voice in her head said
Long ago we went to bed
The sleeping dog's not dead
He will bite if he's not fed

We got narcoticised
We're lost in nursery rhymes
We made a thing of us
No show, no loss, go slow, we're all bust

She said we made a thing of us
What we do is what we must
I said we made a thing of us
What we do is what we must
I said we made a thing of us
What we do is what we must
I said we made a thing of us
What we do is what we must
