Lyrics William Shatner

William Shatner

Real

I have saved the world in the movies

So naturally there's folks who think I must know what to know

But just because you've seen me on your TV

Doesn't mean I'm any more enlightened than you

And while there's a part of me, in that guy you've seen

Up there on that screen, I am so much more

And I wish I knew the things you think I do

I would change this world for sure

But I eat and sleep and breathe and bleed and feel

Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm real

I'd love to help the world and all its problems

But I'm an entertainer, and that's all

So the next time there's an asteroid or a natural disaster

I'm flattered that you thought of me

But I'm not the one to call

And while there's a part of me, in that guy you've seen

Up there on that screen, I am so much more

And I wish I knew the things you think I do

I would change this world for sure

But I eat and sleep and breathe and bleed and feel

Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm real

And while there's a part of me, in that guy you've seen

Up there on that screen, I am so much more

And I wish I knew the things you think I do

I would change this world for sure

But I eat and sleep and breathe and bleed and feel

Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm real
