Real World - Anders Osborne

Well i’m tired of listening

Sick and tired of waiting

And i’ve had enough

It’s time to stop

The real world from going down

Mother earth she’s crying

And our children are dying

And they spill their guts

All over us

While we keep the world go 'round

Don’t want to hear about the good 'ol days

When you could reap just what you sow

All i know is that the rich are gettin' fatter

And the poor kicked around by the law

Yes i’m tired of listening

To them tired politicians

And i’ve had enough

It’s time to stop

The real world from going down

(instrumental break)

They’ve got their own neighborhood

It’s all gold plates and cherry wood

They say they care

But they’re never here

Down in the real world

They drive mercedes

I take my moped down to «pay-less»

And i trade my shoes

For a gallon of the blues

Here in the real world

You keep talking 'bout the good 'ol days

When you could reap just what you sow

Here we are, the rich are getting richer

And the poor kicked around by the law

Yes i’m tired of listening

To them tired politicians

And i’ve had enough

It’s time to stop

The real world from going down

I said, «oh no, oh no»

Stick together now, oh no

The real world is going down

Yes i’m tired of listening

To them tired politicians

And i’ve had enough

It’s time to stop

The real world from going down

(vocal ad-lib)

The real world is going down
