Lyrics

The Real Thing

Artificial sweeteners, spray on tans

I'd rather have the sugar, the sun and the sand

Give me the real thing

Give me the real thing

Virtual friends, reality shows

Put a filter on it so nobody knows

It ain't the real thing

It ain't the real thing

When the smoke and mirrors

All get clearer

Give me what remains

The glitz and glitter won't last forever

Someday it'll all wash away

We got cyber clouds and digital streams

Sometimes I gotta shut it down

Get outside and breathe

The real thing

Give me the real thing

When the smoke and mirrors

All get clearer

Give me what remains

The glitz and glitter won't last forever

Someday it'll all wash away

Late night calls, casual fling

Just ain't gonna cut it

Once we've seen

The real thing

We got the real thing

Oh, the real thing, baby

We got the real thing
