Real Things

Security, serenity, stability,
The therapy, the memories, the unity
The loyalty, the honesty, the sanity
Familiarity, predictability, you and me

A white a house surrounded by a picket fence on a hill
A black Cadillac a backpack filled with hundred dollar bills
It's all good for nothing love, that's not what we're made of
Cannot sell to you for no price, the real things of life
.
Security, serenity, stability,
The therapy, the memories, the unity
The loyalty, the honesty, the sanity
Familiarity, predictability, you and me
The swipe of a credit card substitutes what is real
Buying expensive gifts for the sake of what you feel
It's not really showing love, that's not what we're made of
Spending the cash won't keep right the real things in life
.
Security, serenity, stability
The therapy, the memories, the unity
The loyalty, the honesty, the sanity
Familiarity, predictability, you and me
Security, serenity, stability,
The therapy, the memories, the unity
The loyalty, the honesty, the sanity
Familiarity, predictability, you and me

Here's a quote to memorize
Minimize on merchandise
Maximize and recognize
The realness in life
Be advised, your wallet size
Can jeopardize all that's right
Through dollar signs you'll realize
You've lost your pride
.
Security, serenity, stability,
The therapy, the memories, the unity
The loyalty, the honesty, the sanity
Familiarity, predictability, you and me
Security, serenity, stability
Babe, babe don't
The therapy, the memories, the unity
You want your man to be loyal
The loyalty, the honesty, the sanity
Honest to you, let me tell you right now
Familiarity, predictability, you and me
