Authentic

We’ll never walk a dead end line

Or a bribed or a hyped or a limed one

We’ll always be there right in time

We’re so cool that we don’t mind

We’ll never speak in triple tongues

Of the wrongs of the ones we can¹t get to

We’ll never envy anyone

With a gun having fun in a fast car

Cause we’re so human, so common, so refined

We’re always charming, disarming the clue

Always authentic, romantic, electric

Never excentric, three entric, bombastic

In love with silly answers and candy coated pulp

We’re of our potential and silent bout our youth

Don’t ever try to wake us up

From the dream I admit we ain’t dreaming

Don’t give in to a single doubt

In a crowd that ain’t like you

Don’t ever have a second thought

Or a fourth or a fifth or a sixteenth

And always try to break the ice

In a gaslit room on fire

Always authentic, the bright stars, the right cars

Always for rentals, the gentles, the true ones

Always authentic, fantastic, so drastic

We're so intriguing, fatiguing ourselves

We pile up our credentials

Our CV-gated smiles

We jump over your fences

Decide we’re just like you

Those systematic breakdowns are easy to explain

These daily deviations mislead us from the main

We’re climbing up a rotten tree

And forget that we cut all the branches

We hide in artificial bush

And we joyride the rendeer

We’ll always make a better deal

Never steal, never blink, never whisper

We’ll always try to please your dad

Not the youngest of your sisters

Cause we’re so human, so common, the greatest

We're always charming disarming the clue

Always authentic, the bright stars, the right cars

Always for rentals, the gentles, the true ones

Let's make a scandal, demental our fractals

Let's show the world we’re authentically cruel

With every flight that’s cancelled

The calmer we remain

While waiting by the wrong gate

Authentic’s still our game
