Time after time you told me it was the truth

Time after time you lied to me through your tooth

How can you sing when everyone writes your song

You think you pull the strings and I get strung along



Ba, ba, ba, ba



So cry, won't you cry

You should have saved that for youth

And does it elevate the stakes

When you try to find the truth



In the real world they make real deals

And it hurts your cause and it clips your heels

And I would not hesitate

To say that I will not be here again

In the real world



It's not my way to slap you in the face

When it seems your way to spell dis with a grace

Where are your friends theyr'll moving on

Why do you get paid when everyone writes your song



In the real world but you make the deals

And it hurts some more till you just can't feel

And I would not hesitate

To say that I will not be here again

Save the real world for the suits in the cells

Who only think they're free when freedom sells

And I would not hesitate

To say that I will not be here again

In the real world
