Welcome to the real world, she said to me   Condescendingly   Take a seat, take your life   Plot it out in black and white   Well I never lived the dreams of the prom kings   And the drama queens   I'd like to think the best of me   Is still hiding up my sleeve      They love to tell you   Stay inside the lines   But something's better   On the other side      I wanna run through the halls of my high school   I wanna scream at the   Top of my lungs   I just found out there's no such thing as the real world   Just a lie you've got to rise above      So the good boys and girls take the so called right track   Faded white hats   Grabbing credits and maybe transfers   They read all the books but they can't find the answers   And all of our parents   They're getting older   I wonder if they've wished for anything better   While in their memories   Tiny tragedies      They love to tell you   Stay inside the lines   But something's better   On the other side   I wanna run through the halls of my high school   I wanna scream at the top of my lungs   I just found out there's no such thing as the real world   Just a lie you got to rise above      I am invincible   I am invincible   I am invincible   As long as I'm alive      I wanna run through the halls of my high school   I wanna scream at the   Top of my lungs   I just found out there's no such thing as the real world   Just a lie you've got to rise above   I just can't wait til my 10 year reunion   I'm gonna bust down the double doors   And when I stand on these tables before you   You will know what all this time was for
