Real World Lyrics & Chords By The All-american Rejects

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
