Give me some words I can live by
Give me commandments to know
Give me some fables and proverbs
Give me some signs where to go
I’m a desperate, lonely child and I don’t have enough
I’ve come to know the rules and all the scriptures of love
If it ain’t real — fake it!
If it ain’t yours — take it!
If it don’t exist — you make it!
And if it ain’t broke — break it!
If it ain’t real — fake it!
If it ain’t yours — take it!
If it’s gone to sleep — you wake it!
And if it ain’t broke — break it!
Everything I’ve ever dreamed of
Has begun to fade to black
I don’t know where I ever lost love
Or where to go now to get it back
There are designated angels who just might save our soul
They give me words to live by—and it’s all that I know
If it ain’t real — fake it!
If it ain’t yours — take it!
If it don’t exist — you make it!
And if it ain’t broke — break it!
If it ain’t real — fake it!
If it ain’t yours — take it!
If it’s all gone bad — forsake it!
And if it ain’t broke — break it!
