Stay Golden

It’s you and me and everyone we know.
Our parents will never, ever have to know.
We’ll jump the fence and run up the street.
A moment like this will be hard to beat.

We’ll laugh and we’ll sing so badly off-key.
The world is ready for this, for you and me.
We’re just heart attacks waiting to happen.
We’re so dysfunctional, so misshapen!

We’re the youth of today! The screw-ups, the broken,
The misfits, the losers, the boldly outspoken.
You can’t stop us! We’re just here to live!
This life is the only thing we’ve got to give!

We’ll curse and we’ll cry, we’ll laugh ‘till it hurts,
We’ll wear out our shoes and stain all our shirts.
We’ll scream and they’ll stare at us while we dance.
Let’s screw up now while we’ve still got the chance!

Listen to the music when it speaks, this is all we know,
It always gets us through the highs and the lows.
But after everything that we’ll go through,
We’ll always stay golden, this is our truth.
