You read about them in the papers every morning
The sinners, the saints in the stories
You judge them all even when you're wrong so you can feel better
So when the lack of understanding makes a turning point
You wished it was you that made it through
It drags you down, you lose your ground, it doesn't make life better
Yeah, reality kicks in when the light goes out
And you'll never know what tomorrow's like
Just one far shot and it's all pretend
These are the thoughts of a desperate man
You can see 'em on TV every day, bragging about their lives
Here's one for the books, it's not how it looks
Still, you wanna make it?
So when the yearning for illusion takes the upper hand
The kids grow up only to be a star
That's when the whole world go mad
This is so sad, how will they take it?
Yeah, reality kicks in when the light goes out
And you'll never know what tomorrow's like
Just one far shot and it's all pretend
These are the thoughts of a desperate man
I see you try really hard to pull it of
No matter what the cost might be
'Cause they do not even cares for the love of being fair
Somebody could fulfil their needs
Reality kicks in when the light goes out
And you'll never know what tomorrow's like
Just one far shot and it's all pretend
Oh, reality kicks in when the light goes out
And you'll never know what tomorrow's like
Just one far shot and it's all pretend
These are the thoughts of a desperate man
Whoa-whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Reality kicks in when the light goes out
And you'll never know what tomorrow's like
Reality kicks in when the light goes out
And you'll never know what tomorrow's like
