1st Verse:
Little kids get f**ed
Abused by a bishop
So what about the pope
He's supposed to be epitomizing hope
Still them muthaf**az get a big cheque in his envelope
Infinite scope
9/11
2970 souls sent to heaven
Vietnam was a dead end
World Wars one and two, Mideast conflict
Hindenburg, Titanic, different day, same sh**
Chernobyl that sh** is still real
Hiroshima, Fukushima
Everything is fine long as you get your Beamer
Cos bottom line most people only show consternation for the sake of appearance
Thought we needed to redefine senseless k**ing after Columbine
Until Erfurt and Winnenden, when will it end?
The sh** used to be far away
Well guess it's welcome to modern-day Germany, ay?!
Hook A:
Welcome to the real world
Where little kids be fighting wars
Swapping books and pens for a sword
Welcome to the real world
Where b**hes be throwing babies in the trash
Like life don't mean sh** any more
Welcome to the real world
Where daughters be cooped up by their own fathers
Impregnated, tormented, degraded and no one bothers
Welcome to the real world… the f**ing real world!
2nd Verse:
North Korea and Iran are ‘bout to repeat history
Cold War two or maybe World War three
f** it, it's cool with me
Cos the day they blow us all to kingdom come
Sure will be the final one
Then there'd be no more k**ing, no more pain
Cos honestly what are we fighting for, it's all in vain
Cos if it ain't like that, best believe
We've already paved the way for the downfall of humanity
Exxon Valdez to Deepwater Horizon
We didn't learn sh**, now we just switch to fracking
Air pollution, water pollution, we're doing good, man
Not to mention what's going on in the hood, man
Years of war in Africa, civil war in Egypt
Conflict in Turkey, government k**ing is legit
It makes you wanna fly away, flashback to Tenerife
Human error to blame for 583 bodies…
Hook B:
Welcome to the real world
Where people who fight for democracy
Are stamped down by the government's supremacy
Welcome to the real world
Where people be suppressed
Don't know what it's like to be free
Welcome to the real world
Where kids get beat to d**h, throats get cut
But judges only lock you up if you evade taxes like what the f**
Welcome to the real world… the f**ing real world!
Welcome to the real world
If you don't know what's going on
Open your eyes, man cos you've been living here all along
Welcome to the real world
Like I'm bringing new facts in this song
Welcome to the real world
You just keep living in a fool's paradise
But I beg to differ, son
Welcome to the real world
Welcome to the real world… the f**ing real world!
