[Verse 1]
Broken down on the side of the 405 
Again, again
I’m so stressed bout my life that I’m here getting high 
Amen, amen
Remember bikes in the summer, world was ours to discover
Back then, back then
Don’t wanna be another stat, now I’m wondering is that 
A sin, a sin?
 
[Chorus]
I don’t want the real world
With your white picket fences, no I’d rather be reckless
Like before
All the bad consequences that nobody mentioned 
Need to be free, too young to be
Tied up in the real world
Welcome to the real world
 
[Verse 2]
Gotta keep your voices down gotta make your parents proud and
Make money
I just wanna be scraping up my knees
I miss those days
 
I don’t need guarantees  
I’ve been thinking lately
 
[Chorus]
I don’t want the real world
With your white picket fences, no I’d rather be reckless
Like before
All the bad consequences that nobody mentioned 
Need to be free, too young to be
Tied up in the real world
Welcome to the real world
 
[Bridge]
Take me back into the past when nothing was so serious and nothing mattered
Take me back to golden days when we were setting fires yeah we’d misbehave 
 
[Chorus]
I don’t want the real world
With your white picket fences, no I’d rather be reckless
Like before
All the bad consequences that nobody mentioned 
Need to be free, too young to be
Tied up in the real world
Welcome to the real world
