THIS IS REALITY

Wake-up!
I 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!
