Time To Get Real lyrics
My brother he got injured, injured in the war
My brother he got injured, injured in the war
Enemy said that killing would have been cheaper, this will cost you all much more
Came home to demonstrations, it was so wrong and sad
Came home to demonstrations, it was so wrong and sad
As much as he loved his country, he could no more raise the flag
Said they’d used him for their cause, he found that out too late
Said they’d used him for their cause, he found that out too late
He’d fought over there for peace, and came back home to face hate
White crosses on green lawns, all in a row
White crosses on green lawns, all in a row
They are all just names that you will never ever know
Have been to places, I don’t wanna ever go to again
Have been to places, I don’t wanna to ever go to again
No matter what they may say, the sword is mightier than the pen
There’s millions more that are dead, more than ever that are alive
There’s millions more that are dead, more than ever that are alive
From the day that you are born, you’re fighting to survive
The road is so so long, it goes on and on
The road is so so long, it goes on and on
Most people I met along the way are now well gone
Passed so many doors that were all locked to me
Passed so many doors that were all locked to me
I maybe would have tried to go inside but I couldn’t find the key
Miss Janice Brown, lived on the dark side of town
Miss Janice Brown, lived on the dark side of town
Even though she was poor, her looks opened many a door
One day she met a prince, of that she was convinced
One day she met a prince, of that she was once convinced
They ended up having a kid, and she ain’t seen him again since
In those dark times it was against the rules
In those dark times it was against the rules
The son was scorned and was ridiculed at school
He learnt to rise up against all the pain and scorn
He learnt to rise up against all the pain and scorn
Now everyone blesses, blesses the day that he was born
Been down and out, been so far gone
Been down and out, been so far gone
I can’t believe that I have lived for this long
Am sitting here waiting, waiting for what can’t be escaped
Am sitting here waiting, waiting for what can’t be escaped
Even Houdini took the blow and had to face his fate
What’s on the other side, I wish that I knew
What’s on the other side, I wish that I knew
All I know is that I won’t be there with you
All I know is that I won’t be there with you
Sometimes the time comes, when you have to get real
Sometimes the time comes, when you have to get real
To say what’s inside, to say what you feel
To say what’s inside, to say what you really feel
