Reality Kicks

You read about them in the papers every morning
The sinners and the saints in the stories
You judge 'em all even you're wrong, so you can feel better
So, when the lack of understanding makes a turning point
You wished it was you that made it through
It drags you down, you lose your ground, but it doesn't make life better

Yeah, reality kicks in when the light goes out
And you'll never know what tomorrow's like
Just one far shot and it's all pretend
And these are the thoughts of a desperate man, ooh

You can see them on the TV every day
Bragging about their life's
Here's one for the books, it's not how it looks
Still, you wanna make it?

So, when the yearning for illusion
Takes the upper hand
The kids grow up only to be a star
That's when the whole world go mad
This is so sad
How will we take it?

Reality kicks in when the light goes out
You'll never know what tomorrow's like
Just one far shot and it's all pretend
And this are the thoughts of a desperate man, oh

See you try really hard to pull it of
No matter what the cost might be
'Cause they do not even care for the love of being fair
Someone could fulfill their needs

Yeah, reality kicks in when the light goes out
You'll never know what tomorrow's like
Just one far shot and it's all pretend

Oh, reality kicks in when the light goes out
You'll never know what tomorrow's like
Just one far shot and it's all pretend
These are the thoughts of a desperate man
(Hold it on)
Oh-oh-oh

Reality kicks in when the light goes out
You'll never know what tomorrow's like
Reality kicks in when the light goes out
You'll never know what tomorrow's like
