—by Duck Logic, circa 1985 A.D.
It’s a world of acne, a world of germs.
It’s your brand new dog coming down with worms.
It’s the notes being played by a cockroach parade.
It’s the real world after all.
It’s a world of ulcers, a world of zits.
It’s the hole in the road that you never miss.
It’s the cheap underwear creeping up to your hair.
It’s the real world after all.
It’s the real world after all, It’s the real world after all.
It’s the real world after all, It’s the real world after all.
It’s a world of hunger, a world of sin.
It’s a million products to keep you thin.
It’s machinery exhaust causing air to be lost.
It’s the real world after all.
It’s a world of stark mediocrity.
It’s a world of mindless activity.
It’s a little white lie inside mom’s apple pie.
It’s the real world after all.
It’s the real world after all. Cold, hard steel world after all,
Slimy eel world after all, it’s the real world after all.
It’s a world that’s black and a world that’s blue
And you must duck logic to get you through.
It’s the sudden attack of a knife in your back.
It’s the real world after all.
It’s the real world after all, spinning wheel world after all,
Cold, hard, steel world after all, it’s the real world after all.
