1 2 3 HEY!
turn off the tv
turn on the memory
we used to live in unity, hey
you promised us safety
but coincidentally
we need someone to save us today
i'm just a kid
but i know we're in
way over our hopeful heads yeah
we need more than pride
and poor shoddy guidance
we need someone to help us through the
days turn to nights
please turn out the lights
cause the world's a scary place
your life's not for me
don't want easy street
i just want a friendly face
look around, the world is full of pain and dying, in every country
that's now how i want to live
and if some day i'm forced to grow up to a world of pain and crying
then i'll have to make a change
look for a new life
look for a new way
free from lifes' uncertainties hey
follow your instincts
ot just what they think
think for yourself, and make your own choices
ow that i'm older
life just seems colder
and i'm not sure just where i'm going
but my friends are with me
and soon yeah, you'll all see
that we're making the best of our
days turn to nights
please turn out the lights
cause the world's a scary place
your life's not for me
don't want easy street
i just want a friendly face
look around, the world is full of pain and dying, in every country
that's now how i want to live
and if some day i'm forced to grow up to a world of pain and crying
then i'll have to make a change
look around the world is full of people smilin', all around me
that's the kind of world i like
and if some day i grow up to a world that's peaceful, new and moving
then i'll know i've done my part
