Real World lyrics

I woke up on this side, I thought it was a dream

At first we learned to walk then learned to scream

You can't understand when you're fed from a TV screen

You can't see the things that I can see

But I forget that you thank God and pray

Somethings just never stay and we all just slip away

This can't be the real world now

I don't believe it when I can't see the truth

Welcome to the real world now

The old are carried in only to poison youth

Am I the only one who thinks it's tragic?

'Cause I know this can't be the real world now

No oh, no oh

I look for some hope, in every face that has a vacant stare

The shadows come but no one seems to care

The darkness floods every light that can promised change

She passed sound asleep when the blood is stain, the blood is pain

Somewhere I know that I'm not all alone

This painted breath I hone, my lungs want to explode

This can't be the real world now

I don't believe it when I can't see the truth

Welcome to the real world now

When all our carried in now just to poison you

Am I the only one who thinks it's tragic?

'Cause I know this can't be the real world now, no oh, no oh

This can't be the real world now, no oh, no oh

Just as soon as we see every ploy in every mean

We'll understand before the first time

Child to a man says only real words that he can

It's too late to smell the roses

When all emotion's set aside, in a whisper say goodbye

This can't be the real world now

I don't believe it when I can't see the truth

Welcome to the real world now

The old are carried in only to poison youth

Am I the only one who thinks it's tragic?

'Cause I know this can't be the real world now

No oh, no oh

This can't be the real world now

No oh, no oh

Just as soon as we see

Every flaw and 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 it, he said

"With all emotions set aside

In a whisper say goodbye"

This can't be the real world now

I don't believe it when I can't see the truth

Welcome to the real world now

The old are carried in only to poison youth

Am I the only one who thinks it's tragic?

'Cause I know this can't be the real world now

No oh, no oh

This can't be the real world now

No oh, no oh

This can't be the real world

This can't be the real world

This can't be the real world now

No oh, no oh
