I.D., please

Stand in line
Please fill out this form
Cultural participation
Requires photo identification
A little peice of paper
That carries my signature
I carry my identity at my fingertips
And so do you

This is really me
I can prove it to you
Please take my name off
All your public lists
This is really me
I can prove it to you
A little piece of plastic
To prove that I exist

With any other name
I am still the same
My face you can affiliate
With this human race
I am more than this number
Than this number on this card
Even though I have it memorized
Even though I know it by heart
I know, I know who I am
Let's see if you can
Spend just one single day
Without having to prove it to anybody
