Real World

Well I wonder what it's like to be the rainmaker
I wonder what it's like to know that I make the rain
I'd store it in boxes with little yellow tags on everyone
and you can come see them when I'm...done, when I'm done

I wonder what it's like to be a super hero
I wonder where I'd go if I could fly around downtown
from some other planet, I get this funky high on yellow sun
boy I bet my friends will all be...stunned, they're stunned, Yeah

(chorus)
straight up, what did you hope to learn about here
if I were someone else, would this all fall apart
strange, where were you, when we started this gig,
I wish the real world, would just stop hassling me

and you, and you, and me

SOLO

I wonder what it's like to be the head honcho
I wonder what I'd do if they all did just what I said
Well I'd shout out an order, I think we're out of this man get me some
boy don't make me wanna change my...tone, my tone, Yeah

(chorus)

please don't change, please don't break,
well the only thing that seems to work at all is you
please don't change, at all from me, to you, and you, to me, Yeah Yeah

SOLO

Yeah...
(chorus)

I wish the real world, would just stop hassling me
I wish the real world, would just stop hassling me
And you, and me
