Please buy me a ticket to a foreign destination
Where no one knows my face or knows my name
Computer screens and peak hour traffic
Switch me on I'm automatic
Every single day is just the same
Any day now I'm gonna walk right out the door
Any day now I'll tell my boss just what his job is for

Welcome to the world, Welcome to the real world
Welcome to the world, Welcome to the real world

Meet me outta Cairo at the market near the station
Together we can take a midnight train
We'll fly into the desert sand and leave behind this bedsit land
Dirty dishes in the sink
I ain't got no time to think
Boss is screaming in my ear
Someone get me outta here
Any day now I'm gonna walk right out the door
Any day now I'll tell my boss just what his job is for

Welcome to the
World
Welcome to the real world
Welcome to the world, Welcome to the real world

Buy me a ticket to a foreign destination
Where no one knows my face or knows my name
