"Real People" lyrics

"Real People"

I can't escape my skin
I can't even get out of my head
I've tried drugs
But they haven't made a drug yet they can help me with my bullshit

See
I can leave you, but I can't leave me
I try to get away, but he always finds me
Finds me saying some shit that I wish I hadn't
Thinking some shit that just isn't healthy

Real people don't think like that
No
Real people don't talk that smack
They don't

I'm just tired of being sad about my life and who I am
I couldn't help it
There must be some damage to my brain stem
Because I've noticed
That real people don't think like that
Real people don't talk that smack

Real people don't think like that
No
Real people don't talk that smack
They don't
Real people don't think like that
No
Real people don't talk that smack
They don't

Woo

Woo

Real people don't think like that
No
Real people don't talk that smack
They don't
Real people don't
Ooh, ah, whatever
Real people don't

I know a lot of my friends are gonna say
"Hey, why do you sound like Mike on that one song?"
I guess I'm just gonna have to say, "Because I want to get this off my chest"
And maybe I feel more comfortable or more confident doing it if I'm Mike
Not my fucked-up self
