Lyrics
This and that, they must be the same
What is legal is just what's real
What I'm given to understand
Is exactly what I steal

Real Life

On the run to the outside of everything
I wormed my way into the heart of the crowd
Shot by both sides
One thing follows another
"Why are you so edgy, kid?"
Well, I wormed my way
I didn't lose myself in the crowd
I didn't lose myself in the crowd
I was shocked to find what was allowed
Well, I wormed my way
I wormed my way into the heart of the crowd
They're taking my time by force
Well, I wormed my way
Well, I wormed my way
Well, I wormed my way
I wormed my way into the heart of the crowd
Songwriters: Howard Devoto, Peter Shelley
I don't ask who's doing the shooting
Is exactly what I steal
Well, I wormed my way
Publishers: COMPLETE MUSIC LTD, MUTE SONG
I was shocked to find what was allowed
I wormed my way into the heart of the crowd
Shot by both sides
As a matter of course
Asks the man with the voice
What I'm given to understand
What is legal is just what's real
Shot by both sides
Didn't lose myself in the crowd
I didn't lose myself in the crowd
Well, I wormed my way
I was shocked to find what was allowed
This and that, they must be the same
Well, I wormed my way
I wormed my way into the heart of the crowd
You live and learn, you have no choice
They must have come to a secret understanding
I was shocked to find what was allowed
They must have come to a secret understanding
New offenses always in my nerves
I wormed my way into the heart of the crowd
We must have come to a secret understanding
Didn't lose myself in the crowd
Shot by both sides
Shot by both sides
Shot by both sides
They all sound the same when they scream
Didn't lose myself in the crowd
On the run to the outside of everything
