THE REAL THING May 16/85 Karl Rigelhof

After the deluge
We've taken refuge
Was this a prelude
To the real thing

Before the war
We knew the score
We were fighting for
The real thing

During the destruction
We lost the instructions
To finish the construction
Of the real thing

It's such a waste
It's in bad taste
Made in haste
Decisions can prove wrong

If you want my advice
A simple no would suffice
You had better think twice
Because the answer is not nice
It's another slice
Of life
