Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
You can learn it when you're awake
You can practice in a dream
When you conquer every mistake
You can wipe the slate clean

[Verse 2]
You can marry in the kingdom
You can dance around the queen
But when the shit comes flying
You're gonna have to come clean

[Chorus]
Oh but nothing prepares you
You know nothing prepares you
You know nothing prepares you
For the real thing
For the real thing
For the real thing

[Verse 2]
You got your fortified village
You got your A-team
But when you pull down heaven
You're gonna see what I mean

[Chorus]
Oh but nothing prepares you
You know nothing prepares you
You know nothing prepares you
For the real thing
For the real thing
For the real thing

[Outro]
For the real thing
For the real thing
For the real thing
For the real thing
