This Is Not Real

Every single day I watch the dead parade

The TV's on like opium

Superstars are raging

Stupid, loud and highly engaging

There goes the gravy train

The day it changes, a million faces line up

To star in this over-rated dream

Or so it seems

This is not real, will not last, does not feel

Like the touch of a glorious life

This is the worst kind of wasted

'Cause now you're standing here

Wondering why you sold yourself

More frequently, I'm scared by what I see

The media beautifies, calculates and lies

The mindless becomes free

Flies in the face of someone else's misery

Laughs at the insanity

The day it changes, a million faces line up

To star in this over-rated dream

Or so it seems

This is not real, will not last, does not feel

Like the touch of a glorious life

This is the worst kind of wasted

'Cause now you're standing here

Wondering why you sold…

The day it changes, a million faces line up

To star in this over-rated dream

Or so it seems

This is not real, will not last, does not feel

Like the touch of a glorious life

This is the worst kind of wasted

'Cause now you're standing here

Wondering why you sold yourself
