Back in the Real World Lyrics

You tell us how you'll make it to the top
But you don't try
Your bullshit makes us sick
We just laugh until we cry

We've heard it all before
And we don't care
Don't talk to me no more
Life just ain't fair

Now that you've patronized us, humiliated us
Please go away
I hope you're satisfied, come back
Say I told you so one day

We've heard it all before
And we don't care
Don't talk to me no more
Life just ain't fair

Look before you leap
Think before you speak
Wait before you move

How many times must you tell us of your
Stupid pointless dreams?
Wake up and realize that life
Is not as easy as it seems

We've heard it all before
And we don't care
Don't talk to me no more
Life just ain't fair

Look before

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
