Reality Check Songtext

Reality Check Songtext
So where do we go from here?
Shouted so long about things we cannot do
It′s time to wake up and face the reality of life
Man up and face the world
There's only so long you can live the punk rock dream
Go against the system like salmon upstream.
How is it rebellion to live on handouts
And fund your ′fuck you' statement through a government paycheck?
They say money can't buy happiness
But it sure can keep the wolves from your door
And it sure can fund your dreams
Sit on your arse and let life pass you by
Or work fucking hard and set out on your own path
Still call the shots, still call the shots.
But you have the freedom and the means to pay
Pay the costs
Get a job that suits you
Don′t just become the suit
It′s a necessary evil
To work for that same system
That you are so desperately trying to fuck
Are you happy to just sit back in that one town and live that one life?
Do you dream to get out and forge that new path?
Do you dream to get out and forge that new fucking path?
Shouted so long about things we cannot do
It′s time to wake up and face the reality of life
Man up and face the world
There's only so long you can live the punk rock dream
Go against the system like salmon upstream.
How is it rebellion to live on handouts
And fund your ′fuck you' statement through a government paycheck?
They say money can't buy happiness
But it sure can keep the wolves from your door
And it sure can fund your dreams
Sit on your arse and let life pass you by
Or work fucking hard and set out on your own path
Still call the shots, still call the shots.
But you have the freedom and the means to pay
Pay the costs
Get a job that suits you
Don′t just become the suit
It′s a necessary evil
To work for that same system
That you are so desperately trying to fuck
Are you happy to just sit back in that one town and live that one life?
Do you dream to get out and forge that new path?
Do you dream to get out and forge that new fucking path?
