GETTING REAL
DAVE THE POET

Ring the bell, Load or quiet
Are you Elvis, Or Pussy Riot
Spoiled, Humble, Peasant or queen
In the darkness of tomorrow, Who will be seen
Front of the line, Always left behind
I’m an insider, Out of my mind
Reality is fantasy
Until I’m the real me, How can I be

I was left alright
A pacifist, Looking for a fight
Just when I showed up, It was time to go
Remembering, What I’ve never known
Bathed in light, I become the night
Flower, Thorn, Puddle or sea
Locked in a cage, Forever free
Until I’m the real me, How can I be

If you were to get in, Beginning at the end
The real future, Would pretend
Only to steal, Preowned truth
Falsely accusing proof
Forever lost, Leading the way
Through tomorrow, To yesterday
A horizon watched, But never seen
Until I’m the real me, How can I be

Ring the bell, Load or quiet
Are you Elvis, Or Pussy Riot
Spoiled, Humble, Peasant or queen
In the darkness of tomorrow, Who will be seen
Front of the line, Always left behind
I’m an insider, Out of my mind
Reality is fantasy
Until I’m the real me, How can I be
