When I was kid
I was told that a great big world
Awaited us
And one day we would get there
But along the way
We started to find out
It was all a, it was all a myth
A myth passed down generations

The real world is overrated anyway
Heaps of people find out
Then have a quarter-life crisis
The real world is overrated anyway
People get it too late
And wonder where their life has been

The real world is overrated anyway
Heaps of people find out
And asked why they ever grew up
The real world is overrated anyway
But please don't despair
Cause there's something better for us
If we dare to dream.

Sounds too good to be true,
But when you look closer you'll see the reality,
It really ain't too pretty
Everyone is asleep,
Sleepwalking through their everyday motions,
It's time to wake up everybody.

The real world is overrated anyway
Heaps of people find out
Then have a quarter-life crisis
The real world is overrated anyway
People get it too late
And wonder where their life has been

The real world is overrated anyway
Heaps of people find out
And asked why they ever grew up
The real world is overrated anyway
But please don't despair
Cause there's something better for us
If we dare to dream.

The real world is overrated
Don't you know
The real world is overrated
Wake up now
Wake up now

The real world is overrated anyway
Heaps of people find out
Then have a quarter-life crisis
The real world is overrated anyway
People get it too late
And wonder where their life has been

The real world is overrated anyway
Heaps of people find out
And asked why they ever grew up
The real world is overrated anyway
But please don't despair
Cause there's something better for us
If we dare to dream.
