Please buy me a ticket to a foreign destination

Where no one knows my face or knows my name

Computer screens and peak hour traffic

Switch me on I'm automatic

Every single day is just the same

Any day now I'm gonna walk right out the door

Any day now I'll tell my boss just what his job is for



Welcome to the world, Welcome to the real world

Welcome to the world, Welcome to the real world



Meet me outta Cairo at the market near the station

Together we can take a midnight train

We'll fly into the desert sand and leave behind this bedsit land

Dirty dishes in the sink

I ain't got no time to think

Boss is screaming in my ear

Someone get me outta here

Any day now I'm gonna walk right out the door

Any day now I'll tell my boss just what his job is for



Welcome to the

World

Welcome to the real world

Welcome to the world, Welcome to the real world



Buy me a ticket to a foreign destination

Where no one knows my face or knows my name
