lyrics

There's something so unnerving to be
Walking by, you're standing right
Behind the window with a smile
Nothing makes me more beguiled
Catch it from the corner of my eye
Makes me turn, makes me turn
So I guess you got me this time
But now I know that it's all just fine
You don't know it but I know what
You are just a cardboard cutout
You are just a cardboard cutout ad

Everything there is about you
Makes my skin crawl, I don't like to
Think about who you may have been
Or if you knew the ways you'd be seen
You can never change now
You are stuck in the same way oh
You lost all humanity when
Printed in some factory and
You don't know it but I know what
You are just a cardboard cutout
You are just a cardboard cutout ad

I'll admit that I feel sorry
For your life there is no glory
You just stand there sad and soulless
People they don't even notice
Someday I'll take you away
Release you from your misery
I'll set fire to your body
We'll make it into a big party
You don't know it but I know what
You are just a cardboard cutout
You are just a cardboard cutout ad
