The All-American Rejects — Real World

[Verse 1] 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 And you can't see the things that I can see [Pre-Chorus] But I forget That you thank God and pray Some things just never stay And we all just slip away [Chorus] 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-oh [Verse 2] 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 She passed sound asleep when the blood is stain But blood is pain [Pre-Chorus] Somewhere I know That I'm not all alone With this bated breath I hold My lungs want to explode [Chorus] 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-oh This can't be the real world, now Oh no oh, oh no oh-oh [Bridge] Just as soon as we see Every flaw and every need, we'll understand And for the first time (Time) A child to a man says only pure words that he can And he's too late, this man, he knows it, he said With all emotions set aside, "In a whisper, say goodbye" [Chorus] 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-oh This can't be the real world, now Oh no oh, oh no oh-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-oh
