This is Not the Real World

You get sucked in cuz it's easy to watch

But I'd rather be one of the few

You don't live in goggle-box-ville

And there ain't a camera on you

It's got a lot to answer for

Things you've never seen before

This is not the real world - don't believe what you see

This is not the real world - it's Warhol's prophecy

This is not the real world - check a level for the sound

This is not the real world - it's adults in the playground

Smoke and mirrors hide the lies

Front page makes a splash

But when you scrape the barrel

All you get is human trash

Agents knocking on your door

Thatcher's children in the raw

First name terms dictate the vote

It's just a game they're playing

A new celebrity on the list

And the public who are paying

Treat 'em nice cuz they're investments

Keep it simple like the contestants
