Lyrics Real World - Peter Green Splinter Group

Real World

I like to think I could make a lot of money
Then I could give it all away
But there’s a price for the new generation
They make you pay it every day
You know we’re living in the real world
Sometimes I know I can’t wait any longer
So I try to do as much as I can
But there are times when I look in the mirror
I expect to see a younger man
We are living in the real world
Living with the lost and lonely
We are living in the real world
And we can’t get out
I look around me for the best situation
But everything seems the same
If I buy a ticket for the wrong destination
I’ve only got myself to blame
I’m living in the real world
We keep working for a good reputation
Maybe we’ll get the chance to do it all
We take the blues from the Mississippi delta
And play it in the Free Trade Hall
We are living in the real world
Living with the lost and lonely
We are living in the real world
And we can’t get out
There are people on an Indian reservation
Waiting for a telephone call
They think a man from the Union of Congress
Will give them back their land, their gold?
They’re living in a dream world
