All around I see raining Things don’t seem to go my way Got a dark cloud that’s hanging And it seems to follow me Oh won’t 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 you’re so hardcore Take step outside see what’s shaking in the real world Go take a step outside see what’s shaking in the real world Go take a step outside see what’s shaking in the real world But you don’t know how my heart laments I really got a good excuse to complain My parents got divorced Can’t heal the pain And now there is only cheap regrets I guess that’s 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, can’t you just shut right up Your cup is overflowing, overflowing And you think it is indeed You don’t even know what side you are fighting for Boy won’t you turn your game boy off Start pretending it’s 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 Can’t heal the pain Go take a step outside see what’s shaking in the real world Go take a step outside see what’s shaking in the real world Go take a step outside see what’s shaking in the real world Go take a step outside see what’s shaking in the real world [ Guitar Solo ] Go take a step outside see what’s shaking in the real world Go take a step outside see what’s shaking in the real world Go take a step outside see what’s shaking in the real world Go take a step outside see what’s shaking in the real world www.TAB6.com
