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 screem
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
that soon
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 seenms
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 konw
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
And I can't see
that 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
No-oh-oh
This can't be the
real world now
Oh-no-oh
No-oh-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
And I can't see
that soon
Welcome to the
real world now
The old are carried
in a just the
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
