Got you working the nine-to-five

Well every day

It's all you can do just to stay alive

Wasting your time away

There's got to be a better way



Living life in the real world

Well it's an uphill climb

Living life in the real world

Time afetr time, they knock you down

You gotta get up, you gotta live your life

In the real world



With every second it slips away

It's getting harder to see

How you can be the best that you can be

Wasting your time away

There's got to be a better way



Living life in the real world

Well it's an uphill climb

Living life in the real world

Time afetr time, they knock you down

You gotta get up, you gotta live your life

In the real world



Nobody ever told you it would be like this

In the real world

Fame and fortune's nothing but a hit-and-miss

When you realize you're living

In the real world yeah yeah



Living life in the real world

Well it's an uphill climb

Living life in the real world

Time afetr time, they knock you down

You gotta get up, you gotta live your life

In the real world



Life in the real world
