What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Five-hundred channels and there ain't much on tonight
2
Except reality shows about some folk's so-called lives
3
A pretty girl cries 'cause she don't get a rose
4
But she'll find love next year on her own show
5
And they call that real
6
Real is a hand you hold fifty-seven years
7
Real is a band of gold tremblin' with fear
8
It's the first long tear down an old man's face, watchin' his angel slippin' away
9
His heart's so broke, it's never gonna heal
10
I call that real
11
Where I live, housewives don't act like that
12
And the survivors are farmers in John Deere hats
13
Our amazin' race is beatin' the check
14
Prayin' that the bank ain't ran it through yet
15
Real, like too much rain fallin' from the sky
16
Real, like the drought that came around here last July
17
It's the damn boll weevils and the market and the weeds,
18
the prayer they're sayin' when they plant the seeds
19
And the chance they take to bring us our next meal
20
I call that real
21
Real, like a job you lose 'cause it moves to Mexico
22
Like a mama and a baby with no safe place to go
23
Like a little dream-house with a big old foreclosed sign
24
Like a flag-draped coffin and a twenty-one gun goodbye
25
I call that real
26
Man, I call that real
27
Oh, I call that real
