Real World (© Lyrics by B. Walker & D. Woodward 2001)

I?ve had a rough deal, as long as I remember,
Mouse in a wheel, that?s how I feel,
Go out-get in, these times are never changing,
It never seems to feel like you?re moving on,
Your pockets are empty while others have plenty,
I see it every day in a familiar way,
You get it-you give it, for only one minute,
I borrow money from whoever I can.

I think of better times that I?ve had before,
Am I just-a-dreaming of a time that is no more,
Get yourself together, that?s what people say,
But I?m just trying to make it through one more day?
In the real world.

Whoa, It?s a hard place when you?re on your own,
No one seems to care about the way that you feel,
You get up to fight it, as long as you can bite it,
It never seems to feel like you?re moving on,
You study your options but the odds are against you,
Finding a solution to the hole you?re in,
One year, two years? how many more years,
Can you take the pressure from the world you?re in?

(Chorus)

Yeah, can you find your place in the real world?
Can you find your place in the real world?
I?ve got so much work to do? around here.

Can you, can you can you find your place?
Can you, can you can you find your place?
Can you find your place in the real world?
