Genuine Imitation Life

Chameleon changing colors-while a crocodile cries

People rubbing elbows bit never touching eyes

Talking off their marks, revealing still another guise

Genuine imitation life

People buying happiness and manufactured fun

Everybody doing what everybody's done

People count on people who can only count to one

Genuine imitation life

All the pretty clouds are a lovely shade of black

You find the night direction, someone tears up all the track

People worship crosses, fingers cross behind their back

Genuine imitation life

Genuine imitation life

Old friends get together but it’s solitaire they play

Everybody's rainbow done in different shades of gray

It's a lovely place to visit but I wouldn’t want to stay

In a genuine imitation life

Genuine imitation life
