LYRICS

Hiding behind a cloud of illusion
Living in castles of dreams
Turning your eyes from the pain and the lies
And pretending it's not what it seems

Johnny, wake up to reality
Daydreams have gone with your youth
Johnny confess that your life's in a mess
Johnny wake up to the truth

Pretending that everything is going your way
Refusing to see when it's not
Shutting your mind to the problems you find
On a walk on your way from the lot

Johnny, wake up to reality
Daydreams have gone with your youth
Johnny confess that your life's in a mess
Johnny wake up to the truth
Johnny wake up to the truth
Johnny wake up to the truth
Johnny wake up...to the truth
