We're the substitute people, remember?

and we are meant to be alone, until somebody needs us
and we are meant to suffer in silence until someone calls
and we are meant to stay busy waiting for them to need us
because we'll never be a Ben, or an Ellen.
we're the substitute people, remember?

all through the night, i me mine, i me mine, i me mine
all through the day, i me mine, i me mine, i me mine.
i wish i could just shut up
