Real Life

Cat Power

Compositor: Chan Marshall

I met a doctor, he want to be a dancer
I met a mother, she want to be alone
I met a preacher, he want to be sinister
I met a kid, he want to be unknown

Nothing's wrong with helping the strong
Nothing's wrong with helping the strong
Nothing's wrong with helping the strong
Nothing's wrong to live your day long
Nothing's wrong to live your day long
Nothing's wrong, nothing's wrong

Real life is ordinary
Sometimes you don't wanna live (want to live)
Sometimes you gotta do what you don't wanna do
To get away with an unordinary life

I met a teacher, he want to be a dreamer
I met a sister, she want to meet her maker
I met a poet, he wanna be a joke
I met a dog, he just wanna bone

Real life is ordinary
Sometimes you don't wanna live (want to live)
Sometimes you gotta do what you don't wanna do
To get away with an unordinary life

Real life
(Get away, get away, get away)
Is ordinary
Sometimes you don't wanna live (want to live)
Sometimes you gotta do what you don't want to do
To get away with an unordinary life

Real life
(Get away, get away, get away)
Is ordinary
Sometimes you don’t wanna live (want to live)
Sometimes you gotta do what you don’t wanna do
To get away with an unordinary life
