Hey hey, say goodbye to those days
All your innocent ways
Hey hey, this is the decade of shock
We welcome your every twisted thought

Monkey see and monkey can't do
Cover up your ears before the message gets through

Welcome to the real life
Does anybody know your name?
Does anybody feel the same?
Welcome to the real life
The real life
These are the years of no shame

Hey hey, your success is so sweet
Your idols all have great beat
Hey hey, don't wanna mess with your groove
But I'm shocked at how shocked I'm not at you

One step up and two steps back
In the bloody name of progress we slip through the crack

Welcome to the real life
Does anybody know your name?
Does everybody feel the same?
Welcome to the real life
The real life

These are the years of no shame
These are the years of no shame
These are the years of no shame
This is the real life
The real life, yeah

Welcome to the real life
Does anybody know your name?
Does everybody feel the same?
Welcome to the real life
The real life

Welcome to the real life
Does anybody know your name?
Does everybody feel the same?
Welcome to the real life
The real life

Welcome to the real life
Does anybody know your name?
Does everybody feel the same?
Welcome to the real life
The real life
