Welcome to the world

Hello, I'm the abandoned son
I turned my back on everyone
Retreating deep into my wandering mind
My father left and went his way
Religion went on holiday
And nothing's really necessary
Where broken lives are ordinary
When I complain, I hear the people say
(Welcome to the world)
(Welcome to the world)
(Welcome to the world)
Welcome to the world where the struggle is real
And you know how it feels to beg, plead or borrow
Welcome to the world where dreams come to die
And the innocent cry, 'cause there ain't no tomorrow
Welcome to-, (welcome to-), welcome to the world

I work each day just like the last Taciturn, iconoclast
I got more big words that you don't know
Always a sarcastic ring
You're never sure just what I mean
I dwell within Destruction City
A town that has no tears or pity
I can almost hear the minions as they sing
(Welcome to the world)
(Welcome to the world)
(Welcome to the world)
Welcome to the world where the struggle is real
And you know how it feels to beg, plead or borrow
Welcome to the world where dreams come to die
And the innocent cry 'cause there ain't no tomorrow
Welcome to-, (welcome to-), welcome to the world

Welcome to the world where the talk is cheap
And the tab is steep, and the lies are spoken
Welcome to the world a collective disguise
And the wolf cries at your door
Welcome to the world where you only have friends
If you're means to an end and it's always unspoken
Welcome to the world where twinklin eyes
Will despise you at your core
Welcome to the world that's always wanting more, more, more!
