The Real Thing

Artificial sweeteners spray on tans
Id rather have the sugar the sun and the sand
Give me the real thing
Give me the real thing
Virtual friends reality shows
Put a filter on it so nobody knows
It aint the real thing
It aint the real thing
When the smoke and mirrors
All get clearer
Give me what remains
The glitz and glitter wont last forever
Someday itll all wash away
We got cyber clouds and digital streams
Sometimes I gotta shut it down
Get outside and breathe
The real thing
Give me the real thing
When the smoke and mirrors
All get clearer
Give me what remains
The glitz and glitter wont last forever
Someday itll all wash away
Late night calls casual fling
Just aint gonna cut it
Once weve seen
The real thing
We got the real thing
Oh the real thing baby
We got the real thing
