“Reality Check”
Music & Lyrics by Austen Gray

lyrics

PICK IT UP, PICK IT UP, PICK IT UP!

*Totally RUDE Horns Skank In*

Woke up today, just like any other day
When suddenly I thought of something
It occurred to me, for the first time
that I could see
I was alone, and I had nothing

Where did all the time go?
It’s been so long I’ve got nothing to show
For all the time that I’ve spent
neglecting my friends, and wasting my life
Where did it go wrong?
Forgetting it’s all about having a balance
of pressure and fun before reality
comes along

*Totally RUDE Reggae Horns, Rasta*

I thought about my newest revelation
And then I said “What else is new?”
The T.V.’s on, and it’s showing me
a celebration
For someone better off than me or you

Where did all the time go?
It’s been so long I’ve got nothing to show
For all the time that I’ve spent
neglecting my friends, and wasting my life
Where did it go wrong?
Forgetting it’s all about having a balance
of pressure and fun before reality
comes along

You better watch your ass
You can’t escape the attack
There’s no turning back
Oh no...
There’s nowhere left to go
This is so OUT OF CONTROL!

Well it’s fucked up how quickly
things can change
I hate it so, but it’s the truth
And it’s too late to try and change my fate
I’ve given up, but why should you?

Where did all the time go?
It’s been so long I’ve got nothing to show
For all the time that I’ve spent
neglecting my friends, and wasting my life
Where did it go wrong?
Forgetting it’s all about having a balance
of pressure and fun before reality
comes along

*Punk-Ass Horns Play Us Out*

Before reality comes along
Before reality comes along
