Fact is often much stranger Than fiction, no danger It's easy to ignore it Hide your head and don't look for it Ain't no way to run a universe Someone's holding the strings of the purse Got his finger on the trigger Will he pull it, do you figure
Welcome to, to the real world Welcome to, to the real world Welcome to, to the real world Welcome to To the real world
Who's winning the human race Who's running, who's setting the pace Makes my blood boil in defiance I fall to my knees and pray for guidance It's raining, it's pouring The old man is snoring Went to bed with a hole in his head And didn't wake up in the morning
Welcome to, to the real world Welcome to, to the real world Welcome to, to the real world Welcome to To the real world
Let the world see Let yourself be Love each other Just like you and me Something's got to give Better sooner Than later Hey, oh no
Somewhere, someone Somehow, someday We will find a way Somewhere, someone Somehow, someday Hey Oh Oh, no
(Welcome To the real world)
(Who's winning the human race Who's running) Who's running (Who's setting the pace) Who's setting the pace (Makes my blood boil) Yeah (In defiance) Defiance (I fall to my knees) I fall to my knees (And pray for guidance)
Welcome to, to the real world Welcome to, to the real world Welcome to, to the real world Welcome to To the real world
Welcome to (Somewhere, someone) To the real world (Somehow, someday) Welcome to, to the real world Welcome to, to the real world Welcome to To the real world Welcome to (Somewhere, someone) To the real world (Somehow, someday) Welcome to, to the real world Welcome to, to the real world Welcome to To the real world Welcome to (Somewhere, someone) To the real world (Somehow, someday).
It wasn't particularly gracious Of me to leave, but I found The situation unbearably ostentatious With you and her flirtatious Had it been any other night I might have stayed and put up a fight I guess I wasn't impressed with your seduction
It wasn't an unlikely conclusion For me to draw when I saw You and her in some obvious love seclusion Please pardon my intrusion Had you said something too profound I might have hung in and stood my ground I guess I just wasn't digging our illusion
If you think I didn't see I got news for you If you think you're fooling me I got news for you
It wasn't an irrational notion That made me take the walk 'cause I'm not inclined towards unwarranted commotion Unnecessary motion Had I thought you were some excuse I might have stayed and turned on the juice I guess I just felt a lack of real emotion
If you think I didn't see I got news for you If you think you're fooling me I got news for you.
Nothing I can do, Now you're on your own Better make it good on the telephone I know how to make your hair stand up Are you hip to what it's all about Must be something you can do To distinguish you from you Don't Let It Get To You All the puppets on the stage of life Wearing costumes, Someone's husband's wife Wicked thoughts have been concealed from view I'd die blushing if I only knew Must be something you can do To distinguish you from you Don't Let It Get To You Time to testify, Baby tell the truth Is my lifestyle really so uncouth Give me liberty or give me death Give me reason to get myself undressed Happy ending, They're satisfied You and I remain simply horrified Smiling pillars, Holier than thou Deviate, then take their bow This should come as no surprise, It's been happening right before your eyes Don't Let It Get To You

Nobody knows me like the monkey on my back He's got control now and I'll never get it back It's a brutal attraction, like a moth to a deadly flame It's a knee-jerk reaction, fall to my knees and beg Just a still little voice, just a matter of choice Just the mention of your name Did it have to be me, why did it have to be me The hunter is the game Hey Mr. Jones, you led me on Hey Mr. Jones, you did me wrong He'll never leave me and he'd rather see me dead He has deceived me, I'm in way over my head You appear every morning, and you scream when I try to sleep You come on without warning, watch laughing as I bleed Why you fucking with me, let me go I can't breathe Yes the desperate have no shame My insatiable need, my uncontrollable greed The pleasure is the pain Hey Mr. Jones, you led me on Hey Mr. Jones, you did me wrong Hey Mr. Jones, look what you did Hey Mr. Jones, I'm just a kid Just look at me I'm skin and bones I sold my soul to Mr. Jones
I'm attracted anatomically Need to know you scientifically Strange confusion has come over me Need the fusion between you and me Mother Nature's legislature, Mother Nature takes her course Gravitation of the nation, Gravitation to the source I'm distracted biologically My attention dominating me I'm a victim of Divine design I'm a victim of a one-track mind Gut reaction, satisfaction, Gut reaction's never lie Need I mention my intention, Do I need an alibi It happens every time you're next to me, Biology Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh uh oh, BiologyI'm defenseless, lacking all control It's relentless, longing of my soul I am driven, I'm completely yours It's a given, I'll be back for more It's instinctive, so distinctive, and on that you may depend Don't go mess with Mother Nature, she'll defeat you in the end It happens every time you're next to me, Biology Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh uh oh, Biology Need I mention my intention, Are you willing to supply Gut reaction, Satisfaction, Gut reaction's never lie It happens every time you're next to me, Biology Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh uh oh, Biology
Yes the ghost of Christmas yet to come Has left his mark on everyone Though the Winter's looming dark and near There's time to see while Spring's still here Don't turn your face to the wall Trust in the strength of the small Though uncertainty in every heart And differences tear us apart Oldest prophecies already true Fear no mysteries, just me and you Heaven on earth in a day Always a will and always a way Hold on (Brother) Hold on, (Sister) Sleep in peace, Sleep in peace
