["And I would not hesitate to say that I will not be here again","And it hurts some more till you just can't feel","And it hurts your cause and it clips your heels","You think you pull the strings and I get strung along","In the real world, they make real deals","","In the real world, in the real world","","Time after time you told me it was the truth","In the real world","","How can you sing when everyone writes your song?","In the real world but you make the deals","You should have saved that for youth","Baa, baa, baa, baa, baa, baa","And I would not hesitate to say that I will not be here again","It's not my way to slap you in the face","Baa, baa, baa, baa, baa, baa","So cry, won't you cry?","When it seems your way to spell dis with a grace","Baa, raa, baa, baa, baa","","Where are your friends, they're all moving on","Save the real world for the suits in the cells","And does it elevate the stakes","Who only think they're free when freedom sells","And I would not hesitate to say that I will not be here again","Time after time you lied to me through your tooth","Baa, baa, baa, baa, baa, baa, baa","","Why do you get paid when everyone writes your song?","","When you try to find the truth?","Baa, baa, baa, baa, baa, baa, baa","Baa, raa, baa, baa, baa, baa, raa, baa, baa, baa"]
