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 It's a place you can't believe You can't see the things that I can see
But I forget (forget) That you thank God and pray (God and pray) Some things just never stay (never stay) And we all just slip away (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 And I don't want to believe that it's a place for you and I I hope you think's tragic 'Cause I know This can't be the real world now Oh-no-no Oh-no-oh
Look out the window at a sky that doesn't care (care) I look up for the sun but it's there (there) The rivers flood and the ground beneath me shakes Turn your eyes, I bet you hope that window breaks You hope it breaks
But still don't know (know) That you can make the change (the change) Some things just never stay (never stay) And we all just slip away (away)
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 You try to wind your watch but we're all running out of time I hope you think it's tragic 'Cause I know This can't be the real world now Oh-no-no No-oh-oh This can't be the real world now No-no No-oh-oh
Just as soon as you see (as you see) It's not the way that it should be, you'll understand (the way that it should be) And for the first time As fake as it seems, we're all sharing this disease So we're the damn, just for the last time
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 You try to wind your watch but we're all running out of time I hope you think it's tragic 'Cause I know This can't be the real world now Oh-no-no Oh-no-oh This can't be the real world now Oh-no-no Oh-no-oh
This can't be the real world now Oh-no-no Oh-no-oh This can't be the real world now Oh-no-no Oh-no-oh
