Lyrics of Welcome to the real world

I was a rich man, i was a thief
I was a sailor, shipwrecked on a reef
I was a coward, i was afraid
I was courageous, man, i was brave

Until the oceans dry
Until the day you die
Until the stars fall out the sky

Welcome to the real world, baby
Welcome to the way things are
Welcome to the real world, darling
Step on for shangrila

Welcome to the real world, baby
Paradise guarantee
Welcome to the real world
Come and see what weve bequeathed

I was an angel, idolized
I was a devil in a disguise
I was a stallion, i was a mule
I was misguided but nobodys fool

Until the oceans dry
Until the day you die
Until the stars fall out the sky

Welcome to the real world, baby
Welcome to the way things are
Welcome to the real world, darling
Step on for shangrila

Welcome to the real world, baby
Paradise guarantee
Welcome to the real world
Come and see what weve bequeathed

The day that i was born
Daddy placed me on his knee
Said son youve got to be
A better man than me

Youre inheriting the world
Make your mark on history
Welcome to the real world
Be what youve got to be

Welcome to the real world, baby
Welcome to the way things are
Welcome to the real world, darling
Step on for shangrila

Welcome to the real world, baby
Paradise guarantee
Welcome to the real world
Come and see what weve bequeathed

Welcome to the real world, baby
Welcome to the real world, darling
Welcome to the real world, baby
Welcome to the real world
Come and see what weve bequeathed
