Genuine Lyrics - Simon Townshend

All these words are genuine 

all these words are genuine 

All you do is runaway 

and say the words don't lead to pain 

Is it true what they say 

that if you had your way 

You would hide in the lies 

and be never seen again 

All these words are genuine 

all these words are genuine 

If I seem stupid it's alright 

cause this ain't a show this is my life 

I will do what I pray 

in the old or new way 

Heaven knows let me close 

cause I've always been the same 

All these words are genuine 

although I know it may seem 

Sometimes I'm lost in a dream 

but this is to show 

I'm genuine- it's really me 

I am the boy- I wanted to be 

I'm genuine 

And when I'm angry hold my hand 

and in frustration be my band 

To the heart we're heading 

and the load we're shedding 

We can leave and believe 

in the gut not in the plain 

All these words are genuine 

like the rose blown in the wind 

Still my roots are firmly in 

and this is to show 

This is genuine- it's tears I cry 

It's blood that I'm spilling 

so why should I lie 

And in the cracks there's jealousy 

But does there have to be 

this is to show 

All our words are genuine 

All these words are genuine
