(B. Rush)



I know there is a day without headlines

Where profit won't intertwine

With somebody's pain



We know there is hurt behind the laughter

The sting lingers after

Whoa for such a long time



And one crazy fool laughing at the newsreel

Watching as the citizens steal

It's such a riot downtown



Living in the real world

Living in the real world

Every day in the real world

Finds a way to remind me



I roam living in a wolf pack

Getting my fingers snapped

Whenever I reach out

And if I - if I ever stumble

I'll feel their warm breath

Nuzzling death in my ear



Living in the real world

Living in the real world

Every day in the real world

Finds a way to remind me



Passions turned to worthless litter

Dot the shores of human rivers

The tide just keeps on sweeping me along

Living in the real world



Left so weak 'cause the love she handled every day

Time slowly ate away

And it's a mouth that's forever hungry



And it's too late, the deck was already stacked

She thought she had love down pat

Till the ace jumped out of the hole



She's living in the real world

Living in the real world

Every day in the real world

Finds a way to remind me

Living in the real world

Living in the real world

We're all living in the real world
