Lyrics
(Just Gimme ) the Real Thing
It seems to me
Creativity
Is in sharp decline
In the world today
Pop machine, silver screen
Imitate, regurgitate
Some past success
Of a by-gone day
Chorus:
(Just) Give me the real, real thing now
You know what I mean? The real thing
It's got to feel, feel like the real thing
You know what I mean? Give me the real thing
Don't they know
The sequel never equals
Magic is magic
It's the part you don't control
Turn it off
Tell 'em that you want
The original
The heart and soul now
Chorus
But the scary part
Of this piracy of art
Is no one ever knows
The pioneer
So you try to dig
Dig down to the source
But to your suprise
It's disappeared
Give me the real, real thing now
Give me the real, Give me the real thing
