Real Ward

Well I wonder what its like to teach the teenagers

I wonder what id take to make em want to come to class

Their last teacher did it but as you probly know he had to cheat

He brought em tons of food each week to -- eat, to eat

I wonder what its like to be the nursery leader

I wonder what its like when they all cry at the same time

I'd panic and melt down and more than likely when the day was done

I'd have started sucking on my -- thumb, my thumb

Straight up, can't ya see, there's a lesson right here

If I were left in charge it might all fall apart

But since we work together like we know we should

That's why the real ward is doing real good

Well I wonder what its like to have a few callings

I wonder what its like to take on several peoples' work

I'd be Bishop and ward clerk, Relief Society president and more

I bet you'd all be headin' for the -- door, the door

Please don't change, please don't leave

The only thing that seems to work is all of you

Please don't change this ward is me, and you, and you, and me

Straight up, check the phone there's a message right here

He wants to meet me Sunday but won't say what its for

Strange how he likes to keep me hanging like this

I wish that Neil Dial would just stop messing with me 

Wake up, can't ya see, there's a lesson right here

If I were someone else it might all fall apart

If you stick to your job and I stick to mine,

I bet the real ward will get along just fine

Strange how things just seem to work themselves out

I guess the real ward is better off with just me, and you, and you, and me

I guess the real ward is better off if I'm me
