Keepin’ It Real Barenaked Ladies

Everyone who sees it puts their face in the ground
And when nobody's watchin' they can tear it all down
Friend or foe? Cause I can be either one
But if they come at me, then they better all run

[Chorus]
The wood's all soakin'
So the fire won't burn
Now, I'd keep talkin'
But you never learn
The cut's too deep
So, the wound won't heal
You won't keep nothing
You don't keep nothing
By keepin' it real

Long tooth, time is marchin' on as I sing
Just cut me down the middle, and count my rings
You can't keep nothin', best to leave it alone
You die naked, and they burn up your bones

[Chorus]
The wood's all soakin'
So the fire won't burn
Now, I'd keep talkin'
But you never learn
The cut's too deep
So, the wound won't heal
You won't keep nothing
You don't keep nothing
By keepin' it real
