Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I don't need anyone
Don't need no mom and dad
Don't need no pretty face
Don't need no human race
I got some news for you
Don't even need you too
[Verse 2]
I got my dull machine
Got my electronic dream
Sonic reducer, ain't no loser
I'm a sonic reducer, ain't no loser (Huh!)
[Verse 3]
People out on the streets
They don't know who I am
I watch them from my room
They all just pass me by
But I'm not just anyone
Said I'm not just anyone
[Verse 4]
I got my dull machine
Got my electronic dream
Sonic reducer, ain't no loser
Got my sonic reducer, ain't no loser
[Verse 5]
I'll be a pharaoh soon
Rule from some golden tomb
Things will be different then
The sun will rise from here
Then I'll be ten feet tall
And you'll be nothing at all
[Verse 6]
I got my dull machine
I got my electronic dream
Sonic reducer, ain't no loser
Got my sonic reducer, I ain't no loser
I said sonic reducer, sonic reducer
Yeah sonic reducer, sonic reducer, sonic reducer, yeah... Huh!
