Anders Osborne - Real World lyrics

Well i'm tired of listening Sick and tired of waiting And i've had enough It's time to stop The real world from going down Mother earth she's crying And our children are dying And they spill their guts All over us While we keep the world go 'round Don't want to hear about the good 'ol days When you could reap just what you sow All i know is that the rich are gettin' fatter And the poor kicked around by the law Yes i'm tired of listening To them tired politicians And i've had enough It's time to stop The real world from going down (instrumental break) They've got their own neighborhood It's all gold plates and cherry wood They say they care But they're never here Down in the real world They drive mercedes I take my moped down to "pay-less" And i trade my shoes For a gallon of the blues Here in the real world You keep talking 'bout the good 'ol days When you could reap just what you sow Here we are, the rich are getting richer And the poor kicked around by the law Yes i'm tired of listening To them tired politicians And i've had enough It's time to stop The real world from going down I said, "oh no, oh no" Stick together now, oh no The real world is going down Yes i'm tired of listening To them tired politicians And i've had enough It's time to stop The real world from going down (vocal ad-lib) The real world is going down
