Letra Real world The All-American Rejects

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 T.V. screen
And 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 could 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
the sheep are sound asleep when the blood is stained, 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

If for the first time
a child to a man says only
pure words that he can
He's too late this man he knows it he said

With all emotion set aside,
in a whisper say good-bye

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 (x2)

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