This is reality
Anita dothI say money makes the world go round
I say money makes the world go down
Yeah wake-up
Do we think we can go on like this
Do we think we can just pretend
I look around me and see what's goin' on
Life will never be the same again
And I wish I could sing a happy song
But I look around me and see what's goin' on
Just wanna close my eyes
And live in a fantasy world
But this is reality
Wake up
This is reality
Wake up
A Message for you and me
Wake up
This is reality
Wake up
I look around me and get really scared
Mother nature is taking revenge
I look around me and see what's goin' on
Life will never be the same again
And I wish I could write another song
But I look out my window
and see what's goin' on
Just wanna close my eyes
And live in a fantasy world
But this is reality
Wake up
This is reality
Wake up
A Message for you and me
Wake up
This is reality
Wake up
This is reality
So tell me 25 years from now
I wanna know, can we make it somehow
Will we live to see a brighter day
Or do the things we love just fade away
Will children then sing a
A different song
And find a way to carry on
Can they succeed in creating a perfect world
But this is reality
Wake up
This is reality
Wake up
A Message for you and me
Wake up
This is reality
Wake up
Wake up, come on
please wake up
It's about time!
