Real Life

It's the things that none of them say
That you should pay attention to
When you see them looking away
That's when you know you've discovered the truth
When they can't quite look you in the eye
You set fire to their paper disguise
Sometimes it feels like

Everybody's talking about this public conversation
But what about the friend at your side
Everybody's looking at the doctor, not the patient
To see if he will come out alive

It's a waste of real life
Knowing in your heart what's right
But you keep it out of sight
We could die this very day
But it would be a shame if we died this way
It's time, says I, to go outside and open wide

If you feel like you're walking alone
I think you should know they all feel the same
And if you ask them they'll always say no
'Cause keeping it low is all part of the game
But when you know there's nothing to lose
They'll pull out the stops to show there's nothing to gain
Sometimes it feels like

Everybody's talking about this public conversation
But what about the friend at your side
Everybody's looking at the doctor, not the patient
To see if he will come out alive

It's a waste of real life
Knowing in your heart what's right
But you keep it out of sight
We could die this very day
But it would be a shame if we died this way
It's time, says I, to go outside and open wide

It's a waste of real life
Knowing in your heart what's right
But you keep it out of sight
We could die this very day
But it would be a shame if we died this way
It's time, says I, to go outside and open wide
