The Real Thing

Lyrics

Now that the money's run out What was all of this all about Counting the hours and days Every moment you sold away Looking for the right stuff Waiting for the right friends Vanish in the light of Morning when the night ends Were you only dreaming Don't you feel like screaming I want the real thing I want the real thing Oh oh oh I want the real thing I want the real thing Oh oh oh And if it all comes back And you find yourself on the track Where you came off the rails When they promised you couldn't fail Reading all the right books Thinking all the right thoughts In another light looks Like you had a blindspot Who would ever choosе this Would you rather lose this I want the rеal thing I want the real thing Oh oh oh I want the real thing I want the real thing Oh oh oh And when the diamond in your hand was only coal And every bullet in your plan was full of holes And you're not sure there ever was an easy street It's a minor defeat 'Cause you know what you need And you want something real Do you know what is real Well I want the real thing I want the real thing Oh oh oh I want the real thing I want the real thing Oh oh oh
