Nellie McKay - Real Life lyrics

[Nellie McKay - Real Life lyrics]

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
Hey hutt hey wassup nothing doin but

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
Won't fight 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 I had a real life
Not an old and smokin false reality

Girl gone crazy ridin the wave
Ridin it way out world don't faze me
Nothin to save nothin to save us now
Anyhow

Buy me a billionaire and maybe I'll forget
Maybe I'll accept write me a Beaudelaire
And sign me up a cut if you're going up cuz
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 ridin the wave
Ridin it way out world don't faze me
Nothin to save nothin to save us now
Anyhow

Destroy the government and set me up as king
I've been wonderin about the precedent
Of pushin me around goin underground cuz
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 chokin false reality
