Cover art for The Real Thing lyrics by Faith No More

fucking heroin? Fuck that! This song doesn't like any drug nonsense to me. Why does everyone think all songs are about heroin?

I think this song sounds more like the birth of a child, and perhaps the birth and course of the love that produced this child. The trials and tribulations of life.. the real thing. Besides look at "zombie Eaters", that's about a kid, no doubt. ( or maybe just a really immature man)
