Fact is often much stranger
Than fiction, no danger
It's easy to ignore it
Hide your head and don't look for

It's ain't no way to run a universe
Someone's holding the strings of the purse
Got his finger on the trigger
Will he pull it, do you figure?

Welcome to, to the real world
Welcome to, to the real world
Welcome to, to the real world
Welcome to, to the real world

Who's winning the human race?
Who's running? Who's setting the pace?
Makes my blood boil in defiance
I fall to my knees and pray for guidance

It's raining, it's pouring
The old man is snoring
Went to bed with a hole in his head
And didn't wake up in the morning

Welcome to, to the real world
Welcome to, to the real world
Welcome to, to the real world
Welcome to, to the real world

Let the world feel, let yourself be
Love each other just like you and me
Something's got to give
Better sooner than later, yeah hey, oh, no

Somewhere, someone, somehow, someday
We will find a way
Somewhere, someone, somehow, someday
Yeah hey, oh, ho, oh, no

Welcome to the real world
Who is winning the human race?
Who's running? Who's setting the pace?
Makes my blood boil in defiance
I fall to my knees and pray for guidance

Welcome to, to the real world
Welcome to, to the real world
Welcome to, to the real world
Welcome to, to the real world

Somewhere, someone, somehow, someday
(Welcome to, to the real world)
Welcome to, to the real world
Welcome to, to the real world
Welcome to, to the real world

Somewhere, someone, somehow, someday
(Welcome to, to the real world)
Welcome to, to the real world
Welcome to, to the real world
Welcome to, to the real world

Somewhere, someone, somehow, someday
(Welcome to, to the real world)
Welcome to, to the real world
Welcome to, to the real world
Welcome to
