Here I sit again And think about the world we know The same old thing: Where do we come from and where do we go? Sometimes I worry just too much Sometimes I just don't care And if you're with me on this point, Put your hands high in the air Let me hear you say, "Yeah!" Sometimes I'm happy as can be And sometimes feel so low And what is good and what is bad, I sometimes just don't know The world is the most crazy place That we could have been It seems the meaning of our life Is going down in sin So let me live and let me be Your eyes are blind But I can see God is an illusion and there ain't no paradise And there is no underworld below Out there is no heaven and there ain't no Antichrist Welcome to the real world and the show! So let me take you down, my dear, To places you don't know A land that you have not been to And normally don't go I have all your pleasure toys: The fortune and the fame So when you come with me, my friend You'll never be the same So, just say, "Yeah," and come with me Don't be so blind; it's time to see God is an illusion and there ain't no paradise And there is no underworld below Out there is no heaven and there ain't no Antichrist Welcome to the real world and the show! Don't be afraid now of the faces in the night And let your body take control We're going down into the beam of the neon lights And I will purify your soul Standing on a razor's edge Lost in space and time All around, the silence falls Prepared to draw the line A shot, a cry, a flash of light A bullet hits the wall Not yet prepared, the fight for life Is not yet lost at all! So, come with me and let me be The one to lead you home Like diamonds, we'll be shining bright Before we turn to stone God is an illusion and there ain't no paradise And there is no underworld below Out there is no heaven and there ain't no Antichrist Welcome to the real world and the show! Welcome to the show This is the real world
