Now you know   You know just how the whole story goes   Just against the real and the proudest who laugh   Thought i let you know what i'm giving back      Confusion, Difussion   Just show it, You know it   Come'on you can discover (Discover)   You know you can recover (Recover)   You'd be (arriving)   At new (Horizon)   It will be (Surprising)   To me (Keep rising)   Keep rowing (Keep rowin')   Keep showing (Keep showin')   Keep it true and strong in your heart   And you'll get by   But only if you'll make it real      Real, Make it real      We live the lie, deny the love   Hangin' on, with a push and shove   Possession is the motivation   That is hangin' up the whole damn nation   Looks like we always end up in a rut (everybody now!)   Tryin' to make it real — compared to what?      Slaughterhouse is killin' hogs   Twisted children killin' frogs   fool dumb bigots gainin' power   Tired old ladies kissin' dogs   Isn't the human race above them all? (I can't use it!)   Try to make it real — compared to what?      The President, he's got his war   Still don't know what it is for   They change the game with no rhyme or reason   Drop the mans flag ang they call it treason   We're chicken-feathers roasting like a nut (ooh baby now)   Tryin' to make it real — compared to what?      Church on Sunday, sleep and nod   Tryin' to duck the wrath of God   Preacher's fillin' us with fright   He never wondered if he's really right   Iv'e got a fire buring in my gut (I can't kill it)   Tryin' to make it real — compared to what?      confusion, difussion   Just show it, you know it   Discover, recover   Surprise'm, keep rising   Surprise it, realize it   Keep rowin', keep showin'   Keep show'em, keep flowin'   Come'on with me baby bat this   And you'll get by   And you'll get by   But only if you'll make it real   Make it real...      Tryin' to make it real — compared to what?
