So welcome to the real world

Where there's nowhere to hide

From the pain and hurt,

You've got to take it in stride

You say you've got your big problems,

Baby, join the club

You won't find the solutions with a gun or a drug



Inner revolution, shake it up baby

There's something in your life you don't like,

You got the power to change it

You can't fix it with a drug, can't kill it with a gun

Inner revolution, that's the way it's done



So welcome to the real world

Full of pain and hurt

Where there's a million excuses,

And you know what they're worth

You say you've got your big problems

Like everybody else

You won't find any answers until you find yourself



Inner revolution, shake it up baby

There's something in your life you don't like,

You got the power to change it

You can't fix it with a drug, can't kill it with a gun

Inner revolution, that's the way it's done



When you face yourself; and you look inside

You see there's nowhere to run, nowhere to hide



Inner revolution

You've got to shake up your life

You've got to make it work out

Inner revolution, you've got to do it yourself
