Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Imitation is suicide
Imitation is suicide

[Chorus]
So you kill yourself
Kill yourself
Kill yourself

[Verse 2]
Imitation is suicide
An aggravation of what you have inside

[Chorus]
So you kill yourself
Kill yourself
Kill yourself

[Post-Chorus]
Or be yourself
And that'll set you free
Be yourself
Or you kill yourself

[Verse 3]
Emulation
Oh, I know that guy
Imitation
Oh, you are that guy

[Chorus]
So you kill yourself
Kill yourself
Kill yourself
Kill yourself

[Post-Chorus]
Or be yourself
And that'll set you free
Be yourself
Or you kill yourself

[Instrumental break: 24 measures]

[Bridge]
Be yourself
Or you kill yourself
Be yourself
Or you kill yourself
Kill yourself
Or you kill yourself
Be yourself
Or you kill yourself

[Outro]
Just be yourself
Or you kill yourself
Kill yourself
Kill yourself
