This one took some while, but the end result is quite nice I think.
Solid performances from everyone, and it was specially nice to listen to J playing keys. He is missed.
Many Special thanks to Paulo for putting together a super mix. It wasn't easy!

Verse 1:
Up in the morning.
Who am I today?
Does it matter what I say?
Somewhere, somebody
Knows what I know.
Verse 2:
When I was born
Strapped a name around my wrist.
They add me to their lists
Somewhere, somebody
Keeps track of where I go.
Chorus:
And now I am what I eat.
I’m the clothes that I wear,
And the thoughts that I think.
So call me legion
For I am many.
A thousand labels.
Verse 3:
They took who I am
And spread me around.
To help keep me down.
Somewhere, somebody
Hears what I say.
Verse 4:
And all of these labels
They’ve turned me into.
Now I do what they want me to.
Somewhere, somebody
Keeps us this way.
Chorus:
And now I’m what I drink
I’m how much do I earn,
I’m the shows that I watch.
So call me legion
For I am many.
A thousand labels.
Bridge:
And when I am dead.
Peel the label off my head
There’s someone next in line
So stick it on
Solo
Outro Chorus:
My name is legion
For I am many.
A thousand labels.
A thousand labels.
A thousand labels.
