Real World

Well I wonder what it's like to be the rainmaker
I wonder what it's like to know that I make the rain
I'd store it in boxes with little yellow tags on everyone 
and you can come see them when I'm...done, when I'm done

I wonder what it's like to be a super hero 
I wonder where I'd go if I could fly around downtown 
from some other planet, I get this funky high on yellow sun 
boy I bet my friends will all be...stunned, they're stunned, Yeah

(chorus) 
straight up, what did you hope to learn about here 
if I were someone else, would this all fall apart 
strange, where were you, when we started this gig, 
I wish the real world, would just stop hassling me 

and you, and you, and me

SOLO

I wonder what it's like to be the head honcho
I wonder what I'd do if they all did just what I said 
Well I'd shout out an order, I think we're out of this man get me some 
boy don't make me wanna change my...tone, my tone, Yeah

(chorus) 

please don't change, please don't break, 
well the only thing that seems to work at all is you 
please don't change, at all from me, to you, and you, to me, Yeah Yeah

SOLO

Yeah...
(chorus)

I wish the real world, would just stop hassling me 
I wish the real world, would just stop hassling me 
And you, and me
