lyrics

Reality
*written by James S. Hill, Jr.* "Dreamer One Man Band"
(C)1980
-------------------------------------------------------

It's Reality
That gets you every time
Yes It's Reality
That gets you every time
You know Reality
Can make you Lose Your Mind!

A rich man's world
Is a poor man's Dream
But neither one seems to see
That they're both the same
And when they realize
It's a "Cryin Shame"

Cuz it's Reality
That strips away your pride
Yeah it's Reality
That makes you run and hide
You know Reality
Sure is a lonely ride

Yeah , Ride It !

*Guitar Solo*

A rich man's world
Is a poor man's Dream
But neither one seems to see
That they're both the same
And when they realize
It's a "Cryin Shame"

It's Reality
That gets you every time
Yes It's Reality
That gets you every time
You know Reality
Can make you Lose Your Mind!

Why? - Cuz it's Realty.
