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
