Here I sit again and think about the world we know
The same old thing, where do we come from and where do we go
Sometimes I worry just too much, sometimes I just don't care
And if you're with me on this point, put your hands high in the air
Let me hear you say yeah!

Sometimes I'm happy as can be and sometimes feel so low
And what is good and what is bad, I sometimes just don't know
The world is the most crazy place that we could have been
It seems the meaning of our life is going down in sin

So let me live and let me be
Your eyes are blind
But I can see

God is an illusion and there ain't no paradise
And there is no underworld below
Out there is no Heaven and there ain't no Antichrist
Welcome to the real world
And the show!

So let me take you down my dear to places you don't know
A land that you have not been to and normally don't go
I have all your pleasure toys, the fortune and the fame
So when you come with me my friend
You'll never be the same

So just say yeah, and come with me
Don't be so blind, it's time to see

God is an illusion and there ain't no paradise
And there is no underworld below
Out there is no Heaven and there ain't no Antichrist
Welcome to the real world
And the show!

Don't be afraid now of the faces in the night
And let your body take control
We're going down into the beam of the neon lights
And I will purify your soul
Yeah!

Standing on a razor's edge, lost in space and time
All around the silence falls, prepared to draw the line
A shot, a cry, a flash of light, a bullet hits the wall
Not yet prepared, the fight for life is not yet lost at all

So come with me and let me be the one to lead you home
Like diamonds we'll be shining bright before we turn to stone

God is an illusion and there ain't no paradise
And there is no underworld below
Out there is no Heaven and there ain't no Antichrist
Welcome to the real world
And the show!

Welcome to the show,
This is the real world
This is the real world
Welcome to the show
Yeah yeah yeah!
