Hard rain falls on a cold night Four walls closing in Stand and stare at the future Outside looking in Don't know who to turn to Don't know what to do Nothing ever changes All my reds are turning blue
I see it on the streets I read it in the news I get this feeling Maybe I'm being used
But I got all this time on my side There's no looking back Welcome to the real world And I got all this time on my side There's no looking back Welcome to the real world
Fire burns bright in the distance Don't know who to trust Stars fall down like a message Sent from heaven above I see poor men left with nothing Rich men wanting more And I ask myself a question I say what are we living for now
I know the faces And I know the names Know the cost of losing girl But I gotta play the game
Cause I got all this time on my side There's no looking back Welcome to the real world Cause I got all this time on my side There's no looking back Welcome to the real world
I'm hanging on to promises That I know can never be Pray for those I left behind But do they pray for me I'm more than just a number I've been working like a slave We live and then we die From the cradle to the grave
But I've got all this time on my side There's no looking back Welcome to the real world Cause I got all this time on my side There's no looking back Welcome to the real world Yeah I got all this time on my side There's no looking back Never going back Never going back Never going back Cause I got all this time on my side There's no looking back Welcome to the real world
