Lyrics
Reality Check
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You’ve done the best you feel you can
But your still a beaten man
Living in a world you just can’t understand
All the lies your eyes have seen
Seems like your living in real bad dream
And you just can’t wake so you only scream
Because you want the world to hear you
But no one gives a shit about you
So face the facts as given
Because once you’re down they step on you
See the world we live in
You will one day wake to face what’s real
A world where most lie, cheat, and steal
Every man for themselves is the new ideal
Reality is waiting
There’s anger in your heart
And hatred in your eyes when you realize
The innocence of youth is raped by brutal truth
And you realize
