Time after time you told me it was the truth
  Time after time you lied to me through your tooth
  How can you sing when everyone writes your song
  You think you pull the strings and I get strung along
  
  Ba, ba, ba, ba
  
  So cry, won?t you cry
  You should have saved that for youth
  And does it elevate the stakes
  When you try to find the truth
  
  In the real world they make real deals
  And it hurts your cause and it clips your heels
  And I would not hesitate
  To say that I will not be here again
  In the real world
  
  It?s not my way to slap you in the face
  When it seems your way to spell dis with a grace
  Where are your friends theyr?ll moving on
  Why do you get paid when everyone writes your song
  
  In the real world but you make the deals
  And it hurts some more till you just can?t feel
  And I would not hesitate
  To say that I will not be here again
  Save the real world for the suits in the cells
  Who only think they?re free when freedom sells
  And I would not hesitate
  To say that I will not be here again
  In the real world
