One day while I was searching
  For what I'll never find
  She walked into my story
  Said she could change my mind
  This is the final offer
  She said to make it quick
  Don't lose out on this wonder
  So I had to place my bet
    Welcome to the picture show
  Watching your life
  Never know which way to go
  It might not be right
  So you better be strong
    What kind of circus is this ?
  What kind of fools are we ?
  When is the final curtain ?
  What can I do to set me free ?
    Welcome to the real world
  You better be strong
  Never know which way to go
  It might end up wrong
  So you better be strong
    Too many games we have to play
  They always change the rules
  You and me just trying to get along
  What can I do ?
  Got to be strong
    She walked into my daydream
  She told me how it had to be
    Welcome to the picture show
  Watching your life
  Never know which way to go
  It might not be right
  Yeah yeah
    Welcome to the real world
  You got to be strong
  Never know which way to go
  It might end up wrong
  Yeah yeah
    Welcome to the picture show
  It might end up wrong
  So you better be strong
  You got to be strong
  You better be strong.
