Reality

On the jagged edge of a broken dream
Things ain't never what they seem
Powdered milk - in your coffee cup
Garbage man drags a can and wakes you up

To reality- stone cold reality
Can never be what you want it to be - reality

You comb your hair and wash your faith
Trudge on down to the same damn place
That ain't work - it's drudgery
Sometimes it feels like slavery

(Welcome to) Reality
Hard core reality
You're never where you want to be
You're stuck in reality

But on your dreams it's all so right
The perfect lover on your side
You hold her close all through the night
But when morning comes your back to reality

You're a married man but you live alone
You only reach your kids over a telephone
Well you try so hard to lay the bottle down
But every time your feet hit the ground
Up steps reality
Why can't it be how you want it to be
Why can't they ever just let you be
You're stuck in reality
