"Real Life" lyrics - 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
Hey hutt hey wassup
Nothing doin' but

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
Won't fight 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 I had a real life
Not an old and smokin' false reality

Girl gone crazy
Ridin' the wave
Ridin' it way out
World don't faze me
Nothin' to save
Nothin' to save us now
Anyhow

Buy me a billionaire
And maybe I'll forget
Maybe I'll accept
Write me a Beaudelaire
And sign me up a cut
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
Ridin' the wave
Ridin' it way out
World don't faze me
Nothin' to save
Nothin' to save us now
Anyhow

Destroy the government
And set me up as king
I've been wonderin
About the precedent
Of pushin me around
Goin' 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 chokin false reality
