I've become an instrument for you
Please tell me what to do
But don't sell me nothin new
And don't be true please don't be true

This is what I see flashin and crashin
in the eyes of so many of you
Your Id told you what to do
Your Id told you what was you

You aspired but drew all your endings in blue
So willing to worry you hurry through lovers
Who's faces still change with each flip of the covers
You're using too backward but true

Deny me just a bit more truth
While I've still some youth
But don't sell me nothin new
And don't be true please don't be true

Subconsciously assassinated satisfaction
is just another piece of the action
Your Id told you what to do
Your Id told you what was you

Will you ever sift through the madness that you fell into
So willing to worry you hurry through lovers
A face at a time strangers to discover
You're using too backward but true

I love a poem with a streak of feral honesty running through it, especially one that's on the verge of going altogether wild.
