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
