Is It For Real

(album: Van Zant II - 2001)

Look back what do you see?
Heroes, down on their knees we've deserted
Somewhere we lost the flock
Now just look what we've got
Was it worth it?

So you're a movie star
A billion dollar deal
With all those fancy cars
Tell me how it feels

With the 90's rolling in the wind
The 60's drifting back again
How do you lose your new best friends?
Just give 'em some money
Truth adds up to how it sounds
How you look is all that counts
You'll get by on all accounts
It's not even funny
But is it for real?

That's good I have to admit
The more that you're full of...
They will buy it
Drowing in politics
Who'd vote for any of this?
Put your head in

Dangling from a rope

1 inch off the ground
Never been so low
It's such a long way down

Do it wrong until it's right
Whistle blind into the light
The T.V. screen's become our life
How's your reflection?
Take this world of all its dreams
Turn it all into what you need
Be careful 'cause the truth is just
An incurable infection
But tell me what is for real?

With the 90's rolling in the wind
The 60's drifting back again
How do you lose your new best friends?
Just give 'em some money
Truth adds up to how it sounds
How you look is all that counts
You'll get by on all accounts
It's not even funny
Oh it's not even funny
No it's not even funny
Tell me is it for real?
What is for real?
