How many times have you been pushed around?
Is anybody there? Did anybody care?
And how many times have your friends let you down?
Is anybody there? Did anybody stare?
Oh

And how many times have your friends let you down?
Just open up your heart, just open up your mind
And how many times have you been pushed around?
Well, is anybody safe? Does anybody pray?

Oh, life is waiting for you
It's all messed up, but we're alive
Oh, life is waiting for you
It's all messed up, but we'll survive

And how times have you been laughed about?
Is everybody safe? Does anybody pray?
And how many times have you been getting high?
Is everyone allowed? Is everyone afraid?

Oh, life is waiting for you
It's all messed up, but we're alive
Oh, life is waiting for you
It's all messed up, but we'll survive

She gets high, she gets lost
She gets drowned by the cost
Twice a day, every week
All her life

She gets high, she gets lost
She gets drowned by the cost
Twice a day, every week
All her life

Life is waiting for you
It's all messed up, but we're alive
Oh, life is waiting for you
It's all messed up, but we'll survive

Oh, life is waiting for you
It's all messed up, but we're alive
Oh, life is waiting for you, oh
It's all messed up, but we're alive
It's all messed up, but we'll survive
It's all messed up, but we're alive
It's all messed up, but we'll, oh we'll, survive
