In The Movies

I don't see why the bad guys
should get to win in the real life
in the real life
I don't see why the bad guys
should get to win in the real life
in the real life

in the movies
the bad guys always get
what they deserve
in the movies
ass kicked
villain face down
in the dirt
so I don't see why in the real life
it seems we've come to only
expect the worse
I don't see why

I don't see why the bad guys
should get to win in the real life
in the real life

we've become so familiar
with sharks in pin striped suits
our eyes glaze over
as we digest the poison fruits
the bad news streams in
mind numbingly
and simple life
seems like a fantasy
I don't see why

I don't see why the bad guys
should get to win in the real life
in the real life
