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

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
