Harry Belafonte Genuine Imitation Life Lyrics

Genuine Imitation Life Lyrics

Lyrics:



Chameleon changing colors-while a crocodile cries

People rubbing elbows bit never touching eyes

Talking off their marks,
revealing still another guise

Genuine imitation life



People
buying happiness and manufactured fun

Everybody doing what everybodys
done

People count on people who can only count to one

Genuine
imitation life



All the pretty clouds are a lovely shade of
black

You find the night direction, someone tears up all the track

People worship crosses, fingers cross behind their back

Genuine
imitation life

Genuine imitation life



Old friends get
together but its solitaire they play

Everybodys rainbow done in different
shades of gray

Its a lovely place to visit but I wouldnt want to stay

In a genuine imitation life

Genuine imitation life

Genuine
imitation life
