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, 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 ignorant
so rise 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
they can't tell us no
they can't tell us no
(no, no)
they can't tell us no
(no, no)
they can't tell us no
they can't tell us no
(no, no, no, 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
(no, no)
they can't tell us no
(no, no)
they can't tell us no
(no, no)
they can't tell us no
(no, no)
you can't tell us no
