Mike Hedges - Is Anything Real Anymore? lyrics

Earth like a circus full of acrobats Distorted truths fill up my file of facts Force-fed ideas in our magazines Mixing our cereals with gasoline I don't want electric friends Sugar coats and false pretences I can't watch the TV, hate the news What else am I supposed to do? Detach from my body and drift away? Is anything real anymore anyway? Nothing in it's place Am I going insane, trying to stay for another day? I was trying to hold on, but I Detached from my body and drifted away Is anything real anymore anyway? Hiding our insecure with bric-a-brac Youthful and premature and in a trap Fake little fabric lives, white picket dreams Keeping us half alive and in-between I don't want electric friends Sugar coats and false pretences I can't watch the TV, hate the news What else am I supposed to do? Detach from my body and drift away? Is anything real anymore anyway? Nothing in it's place Am I going insane, trying to stay for another day? I was trying to hold on, but I Detached from my body and drifted away Is anything real anymore anyway? Show me something real Tell me something real Give me something real Show me something real Tell me something real Give me something real I don't want electric friends Sugar coats and false pretences I can't watch the TV, hate the news What else am I supposed to do? Detach from my body and drift away? Is anything real anymore anyway? Nothing in it's place Am I going insane, trying to stay for another day? I was trying to hold on, but I Detached from my body and drifted away Is anything real anymore anyway?
