Fact is often much stranger

Than fiction, no danger

It's easy to ignore it

Hide your head and

Don't look for it

Ain't no way to run a universe

Someone's holding the strings of the purse

Got his finger on the trigger

Will he pull it do you figure

Welcome to-

To the Real World

Welcome to-

To the Real World

Who's winning the human race

Who's running, who's setting the pace

Makes my blood boil in defiance

I fall to my knees and pray for guidance

It's raining, it's pouring

The old man is snoring

Went to bed with

A hole in his head

And didn't wake up

In the morning

Welcome to-

To the Real World

Welcome to-

To the Real World

Let the world see, let yourself be

Love each other, just like you and me

Something's got to give, better sooner

Than later, uh oh, oh no

Somewhere, someone, somehow, someday

We will find a way

Somewhere, someone, somehow, someday

Welcome to the real world
