Can you tell me what's real in this world?
I can't wait to go under
I can't wait to go here
I, I don't know which side youre on
But it better be real
Can you tell me what's real cos I dont know
I beggining to wonder
I can't wait to go in
I, I don't know
Which side you're on
But it better be real
I, I don't know
Which side you're on but it better be
Just say what you feel
Just say what you feel
Just say what you feel
What ya feel (hold)
And it better be real
It better be real
Can you tell me what's real in this world
Can you tell me what's real in this world
I can't wait to go under
I can't wait to go in
