Lyrics
Back In The Real World
(Orton, Bedford-Pugh)
Had My head so high in the clouds and was,
Looking for an easy way out.
Then I realized what the truth was,
And now I know I needed to shout,
I'm back in the real world,
Back in the real world,
Since I found out. I found out.
Nobody ever really told me,
The facts were all there, I have no doubt.
Finally, the light came on so brightly,
Had to do a turnabout,
Now I'm back in the real world,
Back in the real world,
Since I found out. Oh, yeah
I couldn't see that my ego had me.
I was so blind, now I find...
I thought I was so enlightened,
Everybody else had no clue.
Suddenly I learned I was average,
That's what a wakeup call can do, Now I'm,
Now I'm back in the real world,
Back in the real world,
Since I found out. I Found out.
I couldn't see that my ego had me.
I was so blind, now I find...
I thought I was something so special,
Maybe I was in certain ways.
Didn't make me better than others,
I guess I was going through a phase,
Now I'm back in the real world,
Back in the real world,
'Cos I found out. Yeah, I found out.
