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 we've 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 nobody's 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 we've bequeathed
The day that I was born
Daddy placed me on his knee
Said son you've got to be
A better man than me
You're inheriting the world
Make your mark on history
Welcome to the real world
Be what you've 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 we've 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 we've bequeathed
