Lyrics

In The Real World

Hook:
It?s the real world ? Embrace it
It?s the real world ? just taste it
And when the sun goes down
With a smile or a frown
Nothing left to say just another long day
In the real world

VRS1
Sometimes you front sometimes you run
Sometimes your staring down the barrel of a gun
Some living large some on the streets
Sometimes it?s all about just finding food to eat

HOOK

VRS2
Got those who cruise in style and others take a walk
Some claim to have the answers all I hear is talk
Some trade their souls for excess
some lives are filled with strife
Some deal with being empty and others take their life

Break
It?s the silence and sound it?s the missing and the found
It?s the up and the down it?s a smile and the frown
It?s the fire and the rain it?s the pleasure and the pain
It?s the loss it?s the gain it?s a bullet in the brain
And I wake up every morning in the real world

VRS3
Some stand the test of time while others lose their faith
Some blame success and failure on a simple twist of fate
Some live within the law some live the life of crime
Some buy their way to freedom and others do the time

HOOK

VRS4
Some wage war for freedom and fight for human rights
Some will taste the victory or will pay the ultimate price
Some live life on the edge some plan their every step
Some gamble on their very lives and lose the deadly bet
