You read about them in the papers every morning
The sinners the saints and their stories
You judge them all even when your 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 them on TV everyday,
bragging about their lives
Here's one for the books,
it's not how it looks,
still you want to make it
So when the yearningfull illusion takes the upper hand
The kids grow up only to be a star
That's when our 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
You see them trying really hard to pull it off
No matter what the cost might be
'Cause they do not even care for the love of being there
Somebody could fullfil 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 (Whoah)
Reality kicks in when the light goes out
These are the thoughts of a desperate man
These are the thoughts of a desperate man
These are the thoughts of a desperate man
