Some people are just all show
Well, I donât mind that if the show is worth watching
But itâs all bark and no tree
Whatâs more ironic than a hippie in Versace?
Itâs all peace and love and limousines
You got the right message but the wrong intentions
How can you be touchy-feely when youâve lost touch?
I think itâs time we had a little intervention with you
Hey now, wake up and lose the make-up
She makes you wanna know her
When you donât know what itâs worth
Now you really wanna show her
How sheâs just so down to earth via satellite
There's no better friends than the, the kind you pay
If they don't bow and scrape then the door will keep revolving
Itâs a tight circle of the chosen few
Well, howâd you manage that? With the recipe involving
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/b/barenaked+ladies/down+to+earth+bonus+track_20964423.html ]
Just a pinch of sweetness and a cup of angst
Mix it all up, you're the all purpose flour
Though it looks delicious, something smells bad
I donât think Iâd last a half an hour with you
Hey now, wake up and lose the make-up
She makes you wanna know her
When you donât know what itâs worth
Now you really wanna show her
How sheâs just so down to earth via satellite
Whatâs it like to love you
When thereâs no one else above you?
And no one gets to know you
Well, whoâll be there to show you via satellite?
Itâs like making love to a TV
Itâs kinda novel but itâs miles away from satisfying
Your hangers-on say itâs a great deal
But what youâre selling, thereâs no chance in hell
That Iâll be buying
Hey now, wake up and lose the make-up
She makes you wanna know her
When you donât know what itâs worth
Now you really wanna show her
How sheâs just so down to earth
She makes you wanna know her
When you donât know what itâs worth
Now you really wanna show her
How sheâs just so down to earth via satellite
