about

From the upcoming EP "ART KIDS FROM THE COUNTRY: VOLUME ONE"!

lyrics

She’s kinda got your humor
And the same shade of eyes
Not as cute a dresser
But a similar style
At least I’m moving on
Sure it’s not quite the same
But if I can’t have you
She’s the next best thing

So I’ll lower my standards
It’s true Love, but blander
Cause what else can I do

Don’t make me get some bootleg version of you
Don’t make me get some bootleg
Bootleg girl
You know I need you babe
I want the real thing
And I don’t want a bootleg
Don’t want a bootleg
Don’t want a bootleg
Don’t want a bootleg

She’s got talent
Her skills pay the rent
She’s like you
But at 80%
Go on down to Chinatown
Sure you’ll pay less
But when you get back home
It’s just a blank VHS

If the Gucci fits different
It’s patent infringement
And a keen eye can tell the truth

Don’t make me get some bootleg version of you
Don’t make me get some bootleg
Bootleg girl
Don’t gimme that knock-off
I want the brand name
And I don’t want a bootleg
Don’t want a bootleg
Don’t want a bootleg
Don’t want a bootleg

Like when Grandma shopped for Christmas
At the Dollar Store
Tear off the paper, it’s a fake G.I. Joe
Oh no
I learned my lesson a long time ago
Cause even 8 year olds know that there’s only one original so

Don’t make me get some bootleg version of you
Don’t make me get some bootleg
Bootleg girl
Cubic zirconia? No…
Diamond ring
Cause I don’t want a bootleg
Don’t want a bootleg
Don’t want a bootleg
Don’t want a bootleg
