The Real Thing

Superficiality and reality collide
In a world where basic human rights are on the slide
Simulated feelings seems to sell the best
Do you know what I mean?

Editing humanity, insanity goes wild
Cutting out the good we do and showing the defiled
Making us believe
That we are living in the wrong dream

Let me out of this media machine
I'm tired of the fix and I wanna come clean

(Give me the real thing)
People who got something on their heart
(Give me the real thing)
Words to pick me up when I fall apart
(Give me the real thing)
Just a little truth now for a start
Give me real good, real fine, alright
(Give me real good, real fine, alright)

Common law publicity, our privacy denied
Feeding on somebody's pain like sharks are for a ride
Hey, what happens to the families and their direct?
No reputation redeemed

Let me out of this media machine
I'm tired of the fix and I wanna come clean

(Give me the real thing)
People who got something on their heart
(Give me the real thing)
Words to pick me up when I fall apart
(Give me the real thing)
Just a little truth now for a start
(Give me real good, real fine, alright)
Give me some real hope, real love
Real time, real shine, real faith
Give me the real thing

(Give me the real thing)
People who got something on their heart
(Give me the real thing)
Words to pick me up when I fall apart
(Give me the real thing)
Just a little truth now for a start
Give me real good, real fine, alright

Give me the real thing
(Concentrate on what needs to be known)
Give me the real thing
(Look the focus deep within my soul)
Give me the real thing
(Help the broken get down to bone)
Give me real good, real fine, alright
(Give me some real hope, real love)
(Real time, real shine, real faith)
Give me the real thing
