No Such Thing - Live at the Oak Mountain Amphitheater, Birmingham, AL - September 2002

Lyrics

Welcome to the real world
 She said to me condescendingly
 Take a seat, take your life
 Plot it out in black and white
 Well, I never lived the dream of the prom kings
 And the drama queens
 I'd like to think the best of me
 Is still hiding up my sleeve
 They love to tell you
 Stay inside the lines
 But something's better
 On the other side
 I wanna run through the halls of my high school
 I wanna scream at the top of my lungs
 I just found out there's no such thing as the real world
 Just a lie you've got to rise above
 So the good boys and girls
 Take the so called right track
 Faded white hats
 Grabbing credits and maybe transfers
 They read all the books but they can't find the answers
 And all of our parents, they're getting older
 I wonder if they've wished for anything better
 While in their memories tiny tragedies
 They love to tell you
 Stay inside the lines
 But something's better
 On the other side
 I wanna run through the halls of my high school
 I wanna scream at the top of my lungs
 I just found out there's no such thing as the real world
 Just a lie you got to rise above
 ♪
 I am invincible
 I am invincible
 I am invincible
 As long as I'm alive
 ♪
 I wanna run through the halls of my high school
 I wanna scream at the top of my lungs
 I just found out there's no such thing as the real world
 Just a lie you've got to rise above
 I just can't wait 'til my ten year reunion
 I'm gonna bust down the double doors
 And when I stand on these tables before you
 You will know what all this time was for
