Genuine Imitation Life

Jake Holmes

[Verse 1]
Chameleons changing colors
While a crocodile cries
People rubbing elbows
But never touching eyes
Taking off their masks
Revealing still another guise
Genuine, imitation life

[Verse 2]
People buying happiness
And manufactured fun
Everybody's doing
What everybody's done
You count on lots of people
Who can only count to one
Genuine, imitation life

[Verse 3]
All the pretty clouds
Are a lovely shade of black
You find the right direction
Someonе tears up all the track
Peoplе wish of crosses
Fingers crossed behind their back
Genuine, imitation life

[Verse 4]
Old friends get together (Old friends get together)
But it's solitaire they play (But it's solitaire they play)
Everybody's rainbows (Everybody's rainbows)
Dressed in different shades of gray (Dressed in different shades of gray)
It's a lovely place to visit
But I wouldn't want to stay
Genuine, imitation life
