Welcome to the Real World

Welcome to the real world

Ain't got no job, but I still got bills to pay
Better get my butt outta this bed
Gotta pound the pavement, start knocking on doors
Surely out there somewhere is something f or me
I get so tired of this rat race
Frustration drives me mad

Hey, hey, welcome to the real world
Nobody gives a damn if you survive
Welcome to the real world
It's an uphill battle just to stay alive
It's dog eat dog, life is a zoo
Welcome to the real world

I work so hard but never seem to get ahead
Everybody puts out their hand for a piece of my pie
What's the use in tryin'; I'll never win
Ev'rytime I climb up, someone pushes me back down again
I get so tired of this push and shove
Frustration rots my brain

Hey, hey, welcome to the real world
Nobody gives a damn if you survive
Welcome to the real world
It's an uphill battle just to stay alive
It's dog eat dog, life is a zoo
Welcome to the real world

The world is a jungle and life is a stage
This ain't no dress rehearsal
But who the hell cares?
This is the real world

Everybody wants something, nobody rides for free
When you add up the cost, is it worth the pain?
I get so tired of all this take and no give
Frustration robs me blind

Hey, hey, welcome to the real world
Nobody gives a damn if you survive
Welcome to the real world
It's an uphill battle just to stay alive
It's dog eat dog, life is a zoo
Welcome to the real world

The real world, is there hope for anyone?
Why is the world this way?
I don't understand why
How can it be like this?
Where do we go from here?
I don't understand why nobody gives a damn
In the real world
