I, I wanna be somebody's good little helper
Are you proud of me?
I, I want to be somebody who makes a difference
Tell me I matter at all
Tell me I matter at all

Boys, boys lining up to feel alive
All the parts are interchangeable
Toys, wind us all up with comforting lies about the world
Tell me I matter at all

I feel like I am nothing
Without your eyes upon me
Make me feel like I'm something
Make me feel like you want me
The hero of the story
Or just somebody stronger?
Tell me I have a purpose
Tell me I have a father
Are you proud of me now?

Given to each and everyone
An identity to give their lives for
Ready to kill and die to protect a fairytale
Tell me I matter at all
Tell me I matter at all

My heaven is only for the brotherhood
Paradise if you're a true believer
Try (try), close your eyes, no doubt, no disobedience
Tell me I matter at all

I feel like I am nothing
Without your eyes upon me
Make me feel like I'm something
Make me feel like you want me
The hero of the story
Or just somebody stronger?
Tell me I have a purpose
Tell me I have a father
Are you proud of me now?

Are you proud of me now?
Are you proud of me now?
Are you proud of me now?
Are you proud of me now?
Are you proud of me now?
Are you proud of me now?
Are you proud of me now?
Are you proud of me now?
