Drama of the Real World


Every day you wake up trying to make it in the real world And the real world turns its back on you You have no choice but to sit here and cry And here we are in the same situation, just you and I Trying to be somebody you’re not And walking around the school like a big shot We have similar problems of jealousy But unlike you I get over it, allegedly People have been talking about you As if you were William Shakespeare when he wrote Taming Of The Shrew You look at your future and see there’s nothing there And get a chill down your spine like a midnight scare Forced to think you are the king of the school When in reality no one looks up to you You envy me in every way As if I were to live on Judgment day How can you be so small, but yet so strong? Looks like I underestimated you, guess I was wrong How do I deal with this? I stand with my back against the wall and I face my fears I’ll swallow my pride before I swallow a tear That’s why I’m the king of this school Just kidding, April fools.
