Letra de 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

´Cause this is not the real thing
This is not real, is not real

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

´Cause this is not the real thing
This is not real, is not real

I want it all and I want it now
Pick me up from the ground just to throw me down
I´m scared of you, the one
Who throws opinions each and every way
You´re not real

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

´Cause this is not the real thing
This is not real, is not real

I want it all and I want it now
Pick me up from the ground just to throw me down
This is not, this is not the real thing
I know it´s not, I know it´s not
It´s not the real thing
