<b>The Real Thing</b> by <i>After Midnight Project</i><br />

These pills are the medicine

That we use to hide behind when we're awake

Money is everything, we blanket ourselves under the greed

Fancy cars, elastic smiles, what a show

I better wrap my heart in cellophane

'Cause this is not the real thing

This is not real, is not real

I delve for absolution,

But my thoughts get distracted by desire

Yea it's all about who you know

And it's all about being the biggest star

The sugar keeps us sweet for an hour at a time

All aboard the bullet train

'Cause this is not the real thing

This is not real, is not real

I want it all and I want it now

Pick me up from the ground just to throw me down

I'm scared of you, the one

Who throws opinions each and every way

You're not real

I saw you on the screen last night

You looked glamorous with pearl,

Diamonds and Novocain

You looked happier than sin

Your bleeding heart is paper-thin

You are so far away from where you belong

'Cause this is not the real thing

This is not real, is not real

I want it all and I want it now

Pick me up from the ground just to throw me down

This is not, this is not the real thing

I know it's not, I know it's not

It's not the real thing
