Keepin' it Real Lyrics
Keepin' It Real (保持真实) - Barenaked Ladies (裸体淑女合唱团)/The Persuasions
Everyone who sees it puts their face in the ground
And when nobody's watching they can tear it all down
Friend or foe cause I can be either one
But if they come at me then they better all run
The wood's all soaking so fire won't burn
Now I'd keep talking but you never learn
The cut's too deep and so the wound won't heal
You won't keep nothing you don't keep nothing by keepin' it real
Long toothed time is marching on as I sing
Just cut me down the middle and count my rings
Can't keep nothing best to leave it alone
You die naked and they burn up your bones
The wood's all soaking so fire won't burn
Now I'd keep talking but you never learn
The cut's too deep and so the wound won't heal
You won't keep nothing you don't keep nothing by keepin' it real
What's the point in wishing there was somewhere to go
If when you get there you can't let anyone know
When my time comes I won't be leaving this Earth
And what I've done for people will determine my worth
The wood's all soaking so fire won't burn
Now I'd keep talking but you never learn
The cut's too deep and so the wound won't heal
You won't keep nothing you don't keep nothing by keepin' it real
The wood's all soaking so fire won't burn
Now I'd keep talking but you never learn
The cut's too deep and so the wound won't heal
You won't keep nothing you don't keep nothing by keepin' it real
The wood's all soaking so fire won't burn
Now I'd keep talking but you never learn
The cut's too deep and so the wound won't heal
You won't keep nothing you don't keep nothing by keepin' it real
The wood's all soaking so fire won't burn
Now I'd keep talking but you never learn
The cut's too deep and so the wound won't heal
You won't keep nothing you don't keep nothing by keepin' it real
The wood's all soaking so fire won't burn
Now I'd keep talking but you never learn
The cut's too deep and so the wound won't heal
You won't keep nothing you don't keep nothing by keepin' it real
