You read about them in the papers every morning
The sinner is the saint in the stories
You judge them all, even when you're wrong
So you can feel better
So when the lack of understanding makes a turning point
You wished it was you who 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 yearningful illusion 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
These are the thoughts of a desperate man
You see them trying really hard to pull it off
No matter what the cost might be
'Cause they do not even care for the love of being there
Somebody could fulfill 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
These are the thoughts of a desperate man
