Real World
State Champs Lyrics

Well I wonder what it's like to be a rainmaker
I am curious about the experience of having the ability to create rain

I wonder what it's like to know that I made the rain
I imagine the satisfaction of being responsible for the rain that falls

I'd store it in boxes with little yellow tags on every one
If I could, I would collect the rain I created and label each container

And you can come and see them when I'm done
Others could witness the fruits of my effort after it is complete

When I'm done
Once I finish making the rain

I wonder what it's like to be a superhero
I am curious about the experience of having superhero powers

I wonder where I'd go if I could fly around downtown
If I could fly, I would contemplate the places I could explore

From some other planet, I'd get this funky high on a yellow sun
If I was an extraterrestrial being exposed to a bright sun, I would feel euphoric

Boy, I bet my friends will all be stunned
My friends would be amazed by my abilities

They're stunned
They would be in shock

Yeah!
An expression of excitement

Straight up, what did you hope to learn about here?
Honest question about what someone expects to gain from a situation

If I was someone else would this all fall apart?
Wondering if things would not work out if I were in a different position

Strange, where were you when we started this gig?
It's curious that you were not present when everything began

I wish the real world would just stop hassling me
I desire the world to be less taxing, stressful, and arduous

Do you?
Asking if someone shares the same feelings

Do you?
Repeating the question for emphasis

And me
Including oneself

Well I wonder what it's like to be the head honcho
I am curious about the life of a leadership position

I wonder what I'd do if they all did just what I said
It is intriguing to think about the results if everyone followed my instructions

Well I'd shout out an order
I would confidently dictate a command

"I think we're out of this, man, get me some
As an example of a command to get more of a particular item

Boy, don't make me want to change my tone
I am warning you not to provoke me and cause me to get angry

My tone"
A reference to the way a person speaks

Please don't change, please don't break
A plea for the person to stay the same and not fall apart

Well the only thing that seems to work at all is you
You seem to be the only thing that is going well for me right now

Please don't change at all, for me to you
Asking the person to remain the same for the sake of the relationship between the two of us

And you to me, yeah
And my wish to remain the same for them as well

To you and me
For both of us

I wish the real world would just stop hassling me
Reiterating the desire for the world to be less of a burden

I wish the real world would just stop hassling me
Reiterating the desire for the world to be less taxing, stressful, and arduous

I wish the real world would just stop hassling me
Reiterating the desire for the world to be less tiresome and challenging
