Verse1
You think if you pray something will answer your prayers
Well you might pray now on to 20 years
And all you'll get is just 20 years older
By then your burdens will be to much for your shoulders

Chorus
And reality will cause your fantasies to die
Cause your fantasies to die, die, die oh why
Reality will cause your fantasies to die
Cause your fantasies to die, die,die oh why

Verse 2
Yes, you were brought up in the Christmas spirit
You couldn't hardly wait for the days to near it
You think your country is a great democracy
Well they just killed your priest for helping folks like me

Chorus
And reality will cause your fantasies to die
Cause your fantasies to die, die, die oh why
Reality will cause your fantasies to die
Cause your fantasies to die, die,die oh why
