Welcome to the Real World Lyrics

Fact is often much stranger
Than fiction, no danger
It's easy to ignore it
Hide your head and don't look for it
Ain't no way to run a universe
Someone's holding the strings of the purse
Got his finger on the trigger
Will he pull it, do you figure

Welcome to, to the real world
Welcome to, to the real world
Welcome to, to the real world
Welcome to
To the real world

Who's winning the human race
Who's running, who's setting the pace
Makes my blood boil in defiance
I fall to my knees and pray for guidance
It's raining, it's pouring
The old man is snoring
Went to bed with a hole in his head
And didn't wake up in the morning

Welcome to, to the real world
Welcome to, to the real world
Welcome to, to the real world
Welcome to
To the real world

Let the world see
Let yourself be
Love each other
Just like you and me
Something's got to give
Better sooner
Than later
Hey, oh no

Somewhere, someone
Somehow, someday
We will find a way
Somewhere, someone
Somehow, someday
Hey
Oh
Oh, no

(Welcome
To the real world)

(Who's winning the human race
Who's running)
Who's running
(Who's setting the pace)
Who's setting the pace
(Makes my blood boil)
Yeah
(In defiance)
Defiance
(I fall to my knees)
I fall to my knees
(And pray for guidance)

Welcome to, to the real world
Welcome to, to the real world
Welcome to, to the real world
Welcome to
To the real world

Welcome to
(Somewhere, someone)
To the real world
(Somehow, someday)
Welcome to, to the real world
Welcome to, to the real world
Welcome to
To the real world
Welcome to
(Somewhere, someone)
To the real world
(Somehow, someday)
Welcome to, to the real world
Welcome to, to the real world
Welcome to
To the real world
Welcome to
(Somewhere, someone)
To the real world
(Somehow, someday).

Jane Child

Jane Child (born on February 15, 1967 in Toronto) is a Canadian singer-songwriter, producer and musician best known for her 1990 hit song "Don't Wanna Fall in Love", which peaked at #2 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart for three weeks in the spring of 1990. Her follow-up single, "Welcome to the Real World", was a modest hit, peaking at #49. These originated from her eponymous debut, which peaked at #49 on Billboard's Pop Albums Chart. In 1992, she contributed a track titled "Mona Lisa Smiles" to the soundtrack of Freejack, a sci-fi action thriller starring Emilio Estevez, which was included on her sophomore release, "Here Not There", one year later. This album was a departure from her debut, in that she mixed standard-issue new-jack with hard rock tracks, and using outside writers on a few of them.

Her modest success was ultimatley short-lived, but her biggest hit, "Don't Wanna Fall in Love", has found enduring status thanks to the Shep Pettibone remix which is often considered as one of the early '90s best Popular House records. Child is currently working on a new album, having been largely unsuccessful with obscure Japanese projects and movie soundtracks throughout the 1990s.

Jane Child resurfaced in the 2001 with her third album, "Surge." It included two single, "Almost Beautiful" and "Nice Day." While the album did not gain attention from the mainstream, it was touted as a welcome return by her supporters. While it was stated her fourth album was complete, there has yet to be a date set for its release. Read more on Last.fm.
