Shallow Man

(Sally Rivers & Alan Whittaker)

To fix the problem, they say you have to know
Acknowledge there’s a problem …to fix
But you think it’s funny, staying out till dawn
Spending all that money, to get your kicks

So tell the truth, where were you last night
Were you with some girl, did it feel alright
So what’s her name, is she younger than me
Does she look like I do…when I was 23

How does it feel…shallow man
Is anything real…anymore…shallow man

To fix the problem , you have to believe
want to fix the problem, not deceive
Communication, we really have to talk
But when I try to open, you turn and walk

So what’s the score…have you something to say
Is there something more, when you look away
You stayed out late, did you dine at the Ritz
With your fake Barbie doll, and her silicone…

How does it feel…shallow man
Is anything real…anymore…shallow man

So what about us, it must count for something
What about us, all these years.
Cause deep inside, the flame’s alive
So what about us

How does it feel…shallow man
Is anything real…anymore…shallow man
Is anything real
Is anything real
Is anything real…anymore…shallow man
