Turn on your television

Watch the Real World as it unfolds before your eyes.

Turn on and tune in as your neighbor just got hit during a drive-by. 

Focus the screen, adjust the color to see racism at its worse; 

Pop open a can, kick your feet up, and suck one down to quince your thirst.  

Adjust your horizontal and vertical flow;

This isn’t the 60’s or 70’s; it’s an all New Millennium show. 

Where actors, pop stars, b’ players on trial and the Terminator runs the state;

US goes to war and hand Saddam his next fate. 

This is live and it’s in your face;

So you better keep up, before you lose this race

To see who’s really a bad boy, role model, or just hard to the core;

Life as we view it, won’t be the same anymore.

Turn on your television,

Watch the Real World as it unfolds before your eyes;

As other countries promises US a big surprise.

With terrorist threats, terrorist threats, and terrorist threats;

Are you scared yet?

So turn on your television and watch the Real World as it unfolds before your eyes;

Where marriages last a day and the rest is just a lie.

Turn on and tune in as the world debates over nuclear arms;

Whose to say who’s at fault as politicians greases each others palms.

We look to the heavens for an answer in hopes to stop this madness;

How can we blame Him for turning His back with such sadness.

So wake up, get a grip, and feel this flow;

Before you know it, it’s the end of the show.
