Things are pretty swell I should be happy as hell
And most of the time I am
But sometimes the direction of world events
Can bring down this human
There are riddles to solve, problems to fix and trends to break
Minds to open, gaps to close and many many risks to take
But when I see what passes for good judgement these days
I just get down
There's an epidemic of stupidity
So watch out because its coming around
Reality is a sandwich that I did not order
Reality is a sandwich that I did not order
Reality is a sandwich that I did not order
Reality is a sandwich that I did not order
I'm going to send it back, even if I have to stand in line
Nancy promised me flashbacks back in "Just Say No"
And now I'm living them full time
There's a Moonbeam here in California
And a Reality Star out in DC (if you can call him that)
I've got of head full of ideas on changing our course But nobody's asking me
Reality is a sandwich that I did not order
Reality is a sandwich that I did not order
Reality is a sandwich that I did not order
Reality is a sandwich that I did not order
Ask any Philosopher
There's really no substantive truth
And in the henhouse of life Its perception that rules the roost
Half-truths and boldface lies come in a deluge
We try to catch it in a paper cup
And the number of people who care to think Just doesn't seem to be enough
Reality is a sandwich that I did not order
Reality is a sandwich that I did not order
Reality is a sandwich that I did not order
Reality is a sandwich that I did not order
