Real World

I woke up on this side I thought it was a dream
At first we learn to walk then learn to scream
You can't understand when you're fed from a TV screen
And you can't see the things that I can see

But I forget that you ain't got a brain
Some things just never stay
And we all just slip away

Chorus
This could be the real world now
I don't believe it but I can't see the truth
Welcome to the Real World now
When all I carry in only to poison you damn I
(The only one to think its tragic)
Cause I know this could be the real world now
No oh no ooh

Look for some hope in every face that has a vacant stare
The shadows come but no one seems to care
And darkness floods every light that could promise change
She falls down to sleep when the blood is stained
The blood is pain
So where I know that I'm not all alone
This pain and breath I hold my lungs want to explode

Chorus
This could be the real world now
I don't believe it but I cant see the truth
Welcome to the Real World now
When all I carry in only to poison you damn I
(The only one to think its tragic)
Cause I know this could be the real world now
No oh no ooh
This could be the real world now
No oh no ooh

Just as soon as we see
Every flaw in every need
We'll understand and for the first time
A child to a man says only pure words that he can
He's too late the man, he knows and he said

"With all of the motion set aside,
In a whisper say goodbye"

Chorus
This could be the real world now
I don't believe it but I can't see the truth
Welcome to the Real World now
When all I carry in now just to poison you damn I
(The only one to think its tragic)
Cause I know this could be the real world now
No oh no ooh
This could be the real world now
No oh no ooh
This could be the real world
This could be the real world
This could be the real world now
No oh no ooh
