The world gave me a gift, but took it back
The world made promises, but broke them all
It doesn’t feel the emotions that I do
It doesn’t see the things I do
The world gave me courage
But it’s trying to bring me down
It seems like when the world turns
It becomes more depressing
Instead of looking forward to better tomorrow
I find myself facing a no better tomorrow
CHORUS:
Don’t tell me to be real
When you won’t listen
When I tell you
The world’s unreal
To me
The world said there’s no such a thing on earth
The world said everything will be alright, but it's worse
It doesn’t know what it is fighting for
It doesn’t understand what the needy really need
The world believed, but it had no faith in me
It seems like when I close my eyes
I open them to a strange world
Instead of a brighter future
I find myself expecting the worst
CHORUS
What is this I see fading out in the distance?
Could it be? Could it be?
The world I live in is a world of today
A present you wouldn’t wish for
Some people still hope for the wind of change
To blow the world into its senses
But don’t tell me
Tell the world to be real
CHORUS
We really need to keep it real
We really need to face reality
Don’t tell me to be real
When you won’t listen
When I tell you
The world’s unreal
The world’s unreal
To me, you and everyone
We really need to keep it real
We really need to face reality
Don’t tell me
Don’t tell me
CHORUS
