Why can't you be real

You hide the way you feel

You can't manufacture me

Cause I like it naturally

Why can't you be true

Why can't you be you

Stop all your suffering

And do your natural thing

Do you think you're fooling anybody

Your mind is in some kind of control

Your soul isn't inside the body

Your body is inside the soul

Why can't you be cool

You're acting like a fool

You sold your soul for fame, fame, fame,

Me I like the natural game

Do you think you're fooling anybody

You are in some kind of control

I've seen you on the ledge pushed over the edge

Like it was some kind of goal

Never mind, never mind

I will be fine I will be fine

Never mind, never mind

I will be fine I will be fine

Never mind, never mind

I will be fine I will be fine
