Real World

I like to think I could make a lot of money

Then I could give it all away

But there's a price for the new generation

They make you pay it every day

You know we're living in the real world

Sometimes I know I can't wait any longer

So I try to do as much as I can

But there are times when I look in the mirror

I expect to see a younger man

We are living in the real world

Living with the lost and lonely

We are living in the real world

And we can't get out

I look around me for the best situation

But everything seems the same

If I buy a ticket for the wrong destination

I've only got myself to blame

I'm living in the real world

We keep working for a good reputation

Maybe we'll get the chance to do it all

We take the blues from the Mississippi delta

And play it in the Free Trade Hall

We are living in the real world

Living with the lost and lonely

We are living in the real world

And we can't get out

There are people on an indian reservation

Waiting for a telephone call

They think a man from the Union of Congress

Will give them back their land, their gold?

They're living in a dream world
