Real World

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

And you can't see the things that I can see

But I forget that you thank God and pray

Some things 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

Oh no oh, oh no-oh

I look for some hope in every face, there's a vacant stare

The shadows come, but no one seems to care

The darkness floods every light that could promise change

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

Somewhere I know that I'm not all alone

With this bated breath I hold, 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

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

Oh no oh, oh no-oh

This can't be the real world, now

Oh no oh, oh no-oh

Just as soon as we see every flaw and every need, we'll understand

And for the first time (time)

A child to a man says only pure words that he can

And he's too late, this 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 now just to poison youth

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

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

Oh no oh, oh no-oh

This can't be the real world, now

Oh no oh, 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

Oh no oh, oh no-oh
