Lyrics
Reality Check copyright 2007
Mike Lacey
Poor little rich boys on the news
Once had it all, now singin' the blues
Thinks cookin' books don't make a crime
If it ruins lives you're doin' time
Awful hard to pity you, we got our own lives to do
Chorus 1
Yer saying it's so bad
Wasted every break you had
If you think your world's a wreck
Cash your reality check
Right down the street's a family man
Whose double life takes secret plans
When his deception is exposed
He'd better hide as rumors grow
Ain't the man that we thought we knew, rehab's comin' next for you
Chorus 2
Fake tears, as if you care
Seek redemption through a prayer
Can't fix the lives you wrecked
Write your reality check
Attorneys sue like it's a sport
Love spreading misery in court
Justice was blind before your lies
Hardly a shock that you're despised
Lost a conscience long ago, now you're reapin' what you sow
Chorus 3
I doubt you have a soul
Power's your only goal
You'll never get respect
Just a big reality checks
Repeat Chorus 2
Repeat Chorus 1
