I’ve seen the rise and the fall
The bitterness and all
The empty hearts that stopped
Before they left their mark
In this town your worst friends
Can be your best enemies
Share the same last wish, last names
It’s all lies to keep you in line
So hang on, be strong
Long live the kids in us all
Pride may fail us
But, God, we will die trying
Hang on, be strong
Long live the kids in us all
Fate may cheat us
But, God, we will die trying
I’ve been the hope, and the doubt
The fear of breaking down
These insecurities until there’s nothing left
I wanna scream, I wanna live
I don’t care who’s listening
I won’t wait my turn to be the ignorance
It’s all lies to keep you in line
So hang on, be strong
Long live the kids in us all
Pride may fail us
But, God, we will die trying
Hang on, be strong
Long live the kids in us all
Fate may cheat us
But, God, we will die trying
You can’t tell us no
You can’t tell us no
Hang on, be strong
Long live the kids in us all
Pride may fail us
But, God, we will die trying
Hang on, be strong
Long live the kids in us all
Pride may fail us
But, God, we will die trying
Hang on, be strong
Long live the kids in us all
Fate may cheat us
But, God, we will die trying
God, we will die trying
You can’t tell us no
