Not The Real Thing
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Congratulations, you have made it
You have finally, graduated
To some kind of, understanding
Of what you're doing, how you are maddening
And the reasons, for your actions
And your salf-destructive attractions
They're often gone now, but they're moving on now
And you seem to know that, there's somehow
This is not the real thing
This is not the real thing
This is not the real thing
Could it be me!
Everybody's, been trying to tell you
Friends and family, but it never got through
You were working, on something else then, that being young and, independent
This is not the real thing
This is not the real thing
This is not the real thing
Could it be me!
This is not the real thing
This is not the real thing
This is not the real thing
Could it be me!
This is not the real thing
This is not the real thing
This is not the real thing
Could it be me!
