the all american rejects
the real world
I woke up on this side I thought it was a dream At first we learned to walk Then we 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 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 flood every light that could promise change The sheep are sound asleep when the blood is stain The 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 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 now only 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
