you gotta be smart to make it through winter
you gotta be tough to make it at all
they're gonna try to force you to splinter
they're gonna play dumb and let you fall
you gotta be cool to make it through summer
turn around see I am true
if they catch us now then it's a bummer
if they catch us they're in trouble too
and if you wait for me
I will wait for you
and if you pray for me
I will waste away for you
you can't grow if there's no struggle
you can't know what it's like to be wrong
help me get out of this bubble
cause I won't be here for long
you gotta take care of yourself
you gotta help take care of me
they won't do anything for us
let's go into the forest and scream
and if you wait for me
I will wait for you
and if you pray for me
I will waste away for you
