The Real World

(Dickinson/Roy)

How many lifetimes,

how many beginnings

How many lovers, how many threats

How many religions

to keep us all guessing

Give me a reason,

Why?

Hell is a reason,

Why?

The real world,

you’ve got to fight to see it through

The real world,

it’s like the cages in the zoo

The real world,

is there a lifelong there to be?

The real world, the real world

Too many people

try to sell you their cages

Killing the fox till the jailer arrives

If living in zoos

is your idea of outrageous

Don’t pick any animal,

I’ll be the wild one

The real world,

you’ve got to fight to see it through

The real world,

it’s likes the cages in the zoo

The real world

can leave you hanging

by a thread

The real world, the real world
