Real Life - Nellie McKay
Don't ask me what I'm thinking
I can't handle it
Didn't plan on this
Don't ask me what I'm drinking
Hip hop hey what's up
Nothing doing Bud
If I had a real life
I could break my hands
And maybe feel life
Not understand it
As if I had a real life
Not a bland and broken false reality
Sign up for lie detection
They'll examine me
Shine a light and see
They'll find a slight depression
Say it can't be done
Nothing comes from fun
But if I had a real life
I could break the mold
And maybe steal life
From those who stole it
As if they had a real life
Not an old and smokin' false reality
Girl gone crazy
Riding the wave
Rotting away out
World don't faze me
Nothing to save
Nothing to save us now
Anyhow
Buy me a billionaire
And maybe I'll forget
Maybe I'll accept
Write me a baudelaire
And tie me uppercut
If you're going up
Cause if I had a real life
I could break it down
And maybe feel a life
Not just drown in it
As if I had a real life
Not a town and country false reality
Girl gone crazy
Riding the wave
Rotting away out
World don't faze me
Nothing to save
Nothing to save us now
Anyhow
Destroy the government
And set me up as king
I've been wondering
About the president
That pushing me around
Going underground
Cause if I had a real life
I could break the rules
And maybe feel life
Instead of foolish
As if I had a real life
Not a cruel and choking false reality
