You read about them in the papers every morning
The sinners, the saints in the stories
You judge them all even you're wrong so you can feel better
So when the lack of understanding makes a turningpoint
You wished it was you that made it through
It drags you down, you lose your ground, it doesn't make life better

Yeah, reality kicks in when the light goes out
And you'll never know what tomorrow's like
Just one far shot and it's all pretend
These are the thoughts of a desperate man

You can see them on TV every day, bragging about their lifes
Here's one for the books, it's not how it looks, and still you wanna make it?
So when the yearning for illution takes the upper hand
The kids grow up only to be a star
That's when the whole world go mad
This is so sad, how will they take it?

Yeah, reality kicks in when the light goes out
And you'll never know what tomorrow's like
Just one far shot and it's all pretend
This are the thoughts of a desperate man

See you try really hard to pull it of
No mather what the cost might be
Cause they do not even care's for the love of being fair
Somebody could forfill their needs
Reality kicks in when the light goes out
And you'll never know what tomorrow's like
Just one far shot and it's all pretend
Ooh, reality kicks in when the light goes out
And you'll never know what tomorrow's like
Just one far shot and it's all pretend
These are the thoughts of a desperate man

Reality kicks in when the light goes out
And you'll never know what tomorrow's like
Reality kicks in when the light goes out
And you'll never know what tomorrow's like
