you think its funny how they call it the real world
like how could life ever be fake
momma says i know youll find you a real girl
but somehow you dont believe it at all, not even for your own sake
pissed off at nothing running from demons speeding coming home late
no fore-thought not even for your own fate
then asking God to listen wishing you were something different
cause you know youll never satisfy ya own tastes
but its all that you know
to never fall even low
and soar as high as the sky
and keep a smile even tho
you aint really where you wanna be
you need to be giant to see what you wanna see
so its time we grow but you could never step on people
just over them and over them and over we go
but how close can we grow to those that we love
if we think that the simple life will never be enough
then you beat yourself up, for not having it all
nobody wanna be around cuz you're not happy at all
the only time you feel right is with a steel mic in ya right hand
no doubt cuz you know you're not like them
but somethings missing is it simplicity
should you leave this all behind but to you its a mystery
its history in the making while shaking the wrong hands
and taking no glory while playing in the wrong band
its what the song says go ahead and runaway
leave ya problems here to stay come back another day
but that aint you, no quitter no babysitter
able taste the sweet but recognize the bitter
its the dinner of life, but never potent like last supper
dont want the fame, but you aiming for the cash of a
true entertainer they cant blame ya, a headhunter
they want the bread and butter, you want to meet
the ends of ya dreams, they never seem to gleam
as bright, as warm, and as high as the sun beams,
but you done thinking
with your thoughts in the sink. ready to wash it away cuz of what they think
you got a gift so now its time to give back
no more wasting a time cuz theres no time to sit back
its been such a long road you just wish that
you found your soul sooner, now go and give that wish back
