Real World Lyrics

Well, I wonder what it's like to be the rainmaker
I wonder what it's like to know that I made the rain
I'd store it in boxes with little yellow tags on every one
And you can come and see them when I'm
Done, when I'm done

I wonder what it's like to be a superhero
I wonder where I'd go if I could fly around downtown, yeah
From some other planet, I'd get this funky high on a yellow sun
Boy, I bet my friends will all be
Stunned, they're stunned

Yeah, yeah

Straight up, what did you hope to learn about here?
If I were someone else, would this all fall apart?
Strange, where were you when we started this gig?
I wish the real world would just stop hassling me

Do you?
Do you?
And me

Well, I wonder what it's like to be the head honcho
I wonder what I'd do if they all did just what I said (just what I said)
Well, I'd shout out an order, "I think we're out of this, man, get me some"
Boy, don't make me wanna change my
Tone, my tone

Straight up, what did you hope to learn about here?
If I were someone else, would this all fall apart?
Strange, where were you when we started this gig?
I wish the real world would just stop hassling me

Please don't change, please don't break
Well, the only thing that seems to work at all is you
Please don't change at all
From me to you
And you, to me, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Straight up, what did you hope to learn about here?
If I were someone else, would this all just fall apart?
Strange, where were you when we started this gig?
I wish the real world would just stop hassling me
I wish the real world would just stop hassling me
I wish the real world would just stop hassling me
A you, and me
