To be true to life

We're gonna have to tell you how it is

These are the things you like

The clothes you wear and the way you are

To be true to life

We're gonna have to let you know

There are some changes that have to be made

Things are here to stay

Things are here to stay

Things are here to stay

Things are here to stay

To be true to life

We're gonna have to work out what

Is the best way you can be yourself

To make it seem real

We're gonna have to really think

How to make it look and feel and sound

Things are here to stay

Things are here to stay

Things are here to stay

Things are here to stay

Things are here to stay
