Lyrics

Tester

[Verse 1]

I've changed, by staying the same

What does it mean to be different?

You've changed, faced from the start

Tell me, an alternative to what?

[Pre-Chorus]

How does it feel?

How does it feel to be part of the picture you

Paint me into a corner

Tearing my niche

'Cause I'm the opposite of opposite

[Chorus]

Test your new model and see

Test your new model against the original

I'm the man you wanna be

So test your new model and once again you fail me

[Verse 2]

Planted, I'm staying in touch

Driven, by something with substance

Plugging, away I'm O.K

You'll be, here today, gone today

[Pre-Chorus]

How does it feel?

How does it feel to be part of the picture you

Paint me into a corner

Tearing my niche

'Cause I'm the opposite of opposite

[Chorus]

Test your new model and see

Test your new model against the original

I'm the man you wanna be

So test your new model and once again you fail me

[Bridge]

For me, things are the same

I have no problem with fame

I can be every man

'Cause my friends never shout my name

For me, things are the same

I have no problem with fame

I can be every man

'Cause my friends never shout my name

They never shout my name

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

Test your new model and see

Test your new model against the original

I'm the man you wanna be

So test your new model and once again you fail me

Test your new model and see

Test your new model against the original

I'm the man you wanna be

So test your new model and once again you fail me

[Guitar Solo]
