All around I see raining
Things dont seem to go my way
Got a dark cloud thats hanging
And it seems to follow me
Oh wont you just wake up
feel the humming
This cruel world is killing you
better start running
Catch up with your life, catch on up
Before the whole thing is through
Have you once? Have you twice?
Have you even considered
it be really good for you
To go out and go on
take another better look around
You are just another white boy
Thinking youre so hardcore
Take step outside see whats shaking in the real world
Go take a step outside see whats shaking in the real world
Go take a step outside see whats shaking in the real world
But you dont know
how my heart laments
I really got a good excuse
to complain
My parents got divorced
Cant heal the pain
And now there is only cheap regrets
I guess thats just the way it be
Is it the world or how I see me
Boy now you are really, really bugging
Yes you are bugging me,
cant you just shut right up
Your cup is overflowing, overflowing
And you think it is indeed
You dont even know what side
you are fighting for
Boy wont you turn your game boy off
Start pretending
its you against the world
I am sick and I am tried of hearing
of hearing you always say
I really got a good excuse to complain
My parents got divorced
Cant heal the pain
Go take a step outside see whats shaking in the real world
Go take a step outside see whats shaking in the real world
Go take a step outside see whats shaking in the real world
Go take a step outside see whats shaking in the real world
[ Guitar Solo ]
Go take a step outside see whats shaking in the real world
Go take a step outside see whats shaking in the real world
Go take a step outside see whats shaking in the real world
Go take a step outside see whats shaking in the real world
