Be realistic man
That’s what they say
You be living with your head
In the clouds today.

Be realistic man
Don’t get lost in hope
That’s how the damned
Get their hearts broke.

Be realistic man
That’s what they say
You be living with your head
In the clouds today.

Be realistic man
Don’t be the joke
Trust me man
You seem a decent bloke.

Be realistic man
Take a step back
Stop putting your heart out
For another attack.

Be realistic man
Be like me
I take things
The way I see.

Be realistic man
Don’t be that dope
Remember the last time
You got your heart broke?

Realistic man
Please go away
I’m an idealist man
Until my dying day.

Realistic man
There’s truth in what you say
My heart breaks, it do, it’s true
But you break yours, most everyday.
