The Real Thing

These pills are the medicine

That we use to hide behind when we're awake

Money is everything, we blanket ourselves under the greed

Fancy cars, elastic smiles, what a show

I better wrap my heart in cellophane

This is not the real thing

This is not real, is not real

You fake, you take, you break

Every thing around you

You still conceal

This is not the real thing

This is not the real thing

I delve for absolution

But my thoughts get distracted by desire

Yea it's all about who you know

And it's all about being the biggest star

The sugar keeps us sweet for an hour at a time

All aboard the bullet train

This is not the real thing

This is not real, is not real

You fake, you take, you break

Every thing around you

You still conceal

This is not the real thing

This is not

I want it all and I want it now

Pick me up from the ground then throw me down

I'm scared of you

Who throws opinions each and every way

You're not real

You're not real

This is not real

You're not real

You fake, you take, you break

Every thing around you

You still conceal

(This is not real)

You fake, you take, you break

Every thing around you

You still conceal

This is not the real thing

This is not the real thing

I saw you on the screen last night

You looked glamorous with pearl

Diamonds and Novocain

You looked happier than sin

Your bleeding heart is paper-thin

You are so far away from where you belong

This is not the real thing

This is not real, is not real

You fake, you take, you break

Every thing around you

You still conceal

This is not the real thing

This is not the real thing

The real thing
