Matchbox Twenty - Real World lyrics

Well, I wonder what it's like to be the rainmaker
I wonder what it's like to know that I made the rain
I'd store it in boxes with little yellow tags on every one
And you can come and see them
When I'm done, when I'm done

I wonder what it's like to be a super hero
I wonder where I'd go
If I could fly around downtown
From some other planet,
I get this funky high on the yellow sun
Boy, I bet my friends will all be stunned,
They're stunned

Yeah...

Straight up! What did you hope to learn about here?
If I were someone else, would this all fall apart?
Strange, where were you, when we started this gig?
I wish the real world would just stop hassling me...

And you, and you, and me

Well, I wonder what it's like to be the head honcho
I wonder what I'd do
If they all did just what I said
Well, I'd shout out an order:
"I think we're out of this, man, get me some!
Boy, don't make me wanna change my ­tone! My tone..."

Yeah...

Straight up! What did you hope to learn about here?
If I were someone else, would this all fall apart?
Strange, where were you, when we started this gig?
I wish the real world would just stop hassling me...

Please, don't change, please, don't break,
Well, the only thing that seems to work at all is you
Please, don't change at all from me
To you, and you to me

Straight up! What did you hope to learn about here?
If I were someone else, would this all fall apart?
Strange, where were you, when we started this gig?
I wish the real world would just stop hassling me

I wish the real world would just stop hassling me
I wish the real world would just stop hassling me
And you, and me
