Please buy me a ticket to a foreign destination 

 Where no one knows my face or knows my name

 Computer screens and peak hour traffic 

 Switch me on I'm automatic

 Every single day is just the same

 Any day now I'm gonna walk right out the door

 Any day now I'll tell my boss just what his job is for

 

 Welcome to the world, Welcome to the real world

 Welcome to the world, Welcome to the real world

 

 Meet me outta Cairo at the market near the station

 Together we can take a midnight train

 We'll fly into the desert sand and leave behind this bedsit land

 Dirty dishes in the sink

 I ain't got no time to think

 Boss is screaming in my ear

 Someone get me outta here

 Any day now I'm gonna walk right out the door

 Any day now I'll tell my boss just what his job is for

 

 Welcome to the

 World

 Welcome to the real world

 Welcome to the world, Welcome to the real world

 

 Buy me a ticket to a foreign destination 

 Where no one knows my face or knows my name
