Hey Mr Politician, I watch you on the news
What if you just for once could try to put
yourself in my shoes

Well, I ain't got no money, and the rent is due
Hell, I'm strugglin' for existence, and my job just fell thru


So let me show you, somethin' you ain't seen
Take you to a place, where you've never have been.


Welcome to the real world, please do come in
For a look behind the scenes
Welcome to the real world, brutal and grim

To the land of broken dreams
Welcome to the real world


Who do you think you're foolin' with your smilin' face
When you're on TV to tell me,
that everything is just great


So let me take you where you've never have been
Don't mind the shoes, Mr step right in


Welcome to the real world - To reality
Welcome to the real world - To the misery

Welcome to the real world - To a place where you never have been
