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 face slipped away?

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 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?



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 drunk, by the cost

twice a day, every week

and all her life



she gets high, she gets lost

she gets drunk by the cost

twice a day, every week

and 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
