Real World (Explicit)

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
No oh, no oh 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 promise change
The sheep are 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
No oh, no oh oh
This can't be the real world, now
No oh, no oh oh

Just as soon as we see
Every flaw in 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 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
No oh, no oh oh
This can't be the real world, now
No 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
No oh, no oh oh
