Welcome To The Real World
Gun Lyrics

Hard rain falls on a cold night
Difficult times have arrived and it's making life rough

Four walls closing in
Feeling trapped in a situation with no escape

Stand and stare at the future
Being paralyzed with indecision, unsure which path to take for the future

Outside looking in
Feeling excluded and isolated from the world outside

Don't know who to turn to
Lost and in desperate need of guidance

Don't know what to do
Feeling stuck and uncertain how to proceed

Nothing ever changes
Stuck in a rut, unable to make progress or see positive change

All my reds are turning blue
Feeling defeated and powerless as everything seems to be going wrong

I see it on the streets
Observing the problems and issues facing society firsthand

I read it in the news
Keeping up with current events and seeing the ways in which society is failing

I get this feeling
Having a gut instinct that something is not right

Maybe I'm being used
Wondering if there are forces beyond our control manipulating or taking advantage of us

But I got all this time on my side
Despite the difficulties, there is a sense of having the power to persevere

There's no looking back
Committing to moving forward, even if it feels overwhelming or impossible

Welcome to the real world
Coming to a recognition that life is full of challenges and difficulties that must be faced head-on

Fire burns bright in the distance
Seeing the potential for something great or exciting in the future

Don't know who to trust
Feeling unsure about others' motives or intentions

Stars fall down like a message
Seeing signs or symbols that may represent a message or warning

Sent from heaven above
Believing that some greater force or power is guiding or communicating a message

I see poor men left with nothing
Observing the widespread poverty and inequality in society

Rich men wanting more
Noticing the greed and selfishness of those with power and wealth

And I ask myself a question
Reflecting on the meaning and purpose of life

I say what are we living for now
Feeling puzzled or bewildered by the state of the world

I know the faces
Having a sense of familiarity with the people and situations around us

And I know the names
Recognizing the individuals or groups responsible for issues in society

Know the cost of losing girl
Understanding the consequences that can come from making mistakes or failing to act

But I gotta play the game
Feeling pressured to abide by the rules of society, even if they are unfair or damaging

I'm hanging on to promises
Holding onto hope and the belief that things will get better

That I know can never be
Despite the hope, recognizing that some expectations may be unrealistic or impossible

Pray for those I left behind
Hoping for the best for those who are not with us or who we have left behind

But do they pray for me
Questioning whether others care about or remember us as much as we care about them

I'm more than just a number
Asserting that each individual has value and cannot be reduced to a statistic or label

I've been working like a slave
Feeling overworked and underappreciated, like a modern-day slave

We live and then we die
Recognizing the cyclical nature of life and the inevitability of death

From the cradle to the grave
Acknowledging that this cycle of life and death affects us from birth until our last days

Never going back
Resolving to move forward, rather than dwelling in the past
