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 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 floods every light that could promised change She passed sound asleep when the blood is stain 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 (as we see) Every flaw and every need we'll understand (every flaw and every need) And for the first time (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 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 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
