Keepin' It Real Lyrics - Grinning Streak - Barenaked Ladies

Everyone who sees it puts their face in the ground 

And when nobody's watching, they can tear it all down 

Friend or foe? Cause I can be either one 

But if they come at me, then they better all run 

The wood's all soaking, so fire won't burn 

Now I'd keep talking, but you never learn 

The cut's too deep, and so the wound won't heal 

You won't keep nothing, you don't keep nothing by keepin' it real 

Long-toothed time is marching on as I sing 

Just cut me down the middle and count my rings 

Can't keep nothing; best to leave it alone 

You die naked and they burn up your bones

Wood's all soaking, so fire won't burn 

Now I'd keep talking, but you never learn 

The cut's too deep, and so the wound won't heal 

You won't keep nothing, you don't keep nothing by keepin' it real 

What's the point in wishing there was somewhere to go 

If when you get there, you can't let anyone know 

When my time comes, I won't be leaving this Earth 

And what I've done for people will determine my worth 

The wood's all soaking, so fire won't burn 

Now I'd keep talking, but you never learn 

The cut's too deep, and so the wound won't heal 

You won't keep nothing, you don't keep nothing by keepin' it real
