Bigger Than Real |
| Streets of the city |
| Are dirty and gritty now |
| Ain’t it a pitiful sight |
| Sing hallelujah and praise California |
| Pedestrians move to the right |
| I’m waiting here for the man with the answer |
| To ease my soul |
| I’ve got the blues so bad it can’t be true |
| Honey, I’m waiting on you |
| The people just walk |
| And the sidewalks talk |
| And everyone’s been derailed |
| Everything’s bigger than real here |
| Honey, I don’t feel too well |
| These buildings are singing the blues |
| You’ve got to use your sins |
| Honey, I’d like just |
| To meet with the righteous |
| But I don’t know where to begin |
| And the tambourine |
| It’s playing for free |
| It’s telling me trust in the Lord |
| Sing Hare Krishna or Jesus or Mithra |
| It don’t matter who anymore |
| They say got relieves |
| If I’d only believe |
| But I just can’t whore |
| Honey, I’m trying |
| To deal with the dying |
| And I can’t score |
| So here we all are |
| Waiting for God |
| Or someone who looks just like him |
| Everything’s bigger than real here |
| Honey, I just can’t win |
| They say the downtrodden shall rule |
| But ain’t it a fool likes to kneel |
| Big city news is the smalltown blues |
| Honey, it’s bigger than real |
