How many times have you been pushed around
Is anybody there, does 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 has your faith slipped away
Well is anybody safe, does anybody pray

[Chorus]
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 many days have you just slept away
Is everybody high, is everyone afraid
And how many times have you wished you were strong
Have they ever seen your heart
Have they ever seen your pain

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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, but we'll survive
