The Real World
(Dickinson/Roy)
How many lifetimes,
how many beginnings
How many lovers, how many threats
How many religions
to keep us all guessing
Give me a reason,
Why?
Hell is a reason,
Why?
The real world,
you've got to fight to see it through
The real world,
it's like the cages in the zoo
The real world,
is there a lifelong there to be?
The real world, the real world
Too many people
try to sell you their cages
Killing the fox till the jailer arrives
If living in zoos
is your idea of outrageous
Don't pick any animal,
I'll be the wild one
The real world,
you've got to fight to see it through
The real world,
it's likes the cages in the zoo
The real world
can leave you hanging
by a thread
The real world, the real world
