Real Talk [demo] Songtext
von Titus Andronicus

If the weather′s as bad as the
Weatherman says, we're in for a real mean storm

If the times are as hard as folks are saying
They are, some folks have it real, real hard
Can′t even get a break
Forget about getting ahead--you bet they never get too far
If the people upstairs acted like they
Even cared, I'd crack a real wide smile
But I'd have to guess
To witness something like this, you′d have to wait a real long while

If life is as tough as the last couple months
We′re in for a real rough year


If the future's as bleak as I hear on the
Street, we′re looking at a real long haul
The people I speak to take drugs when
They need to stop thinking about it all
Me? I've taken a few so I could stop
Thinking too--who hasn′t used a drug?
But turning off yr mind a couple few too
Many times can turn you to a real dumb slug

If things are as bad as the
Newspaper says, we're in for a real big war

If this is the shit that we′re to be
Dealing with then we made a real bad deal
But shit isn't new until it happens
To you, spinning like a reel-to-reel
If we could stop this train and start all
Over again, make all of the states shake hands
Well, I'd smile real wide although I know,
Down deep inside, that happening has a real slim chance

It′s a real big war that they′ve got in store for us
