The tricky thing is yesterday we were just children Playing soldiers, just pretending Dreaming dreams with happy endings In backyards winning battles with our wooden swords But now we've stepped into a cruel world Where everybody stands to keep score.
So here you are, two steps ahead and staying on guard Every lesson forms a new scar They never thought you'd make it this far But turn around, they've surrounded you It's a showdown, and nobody comes to save you now But you've got something they don't Yeah you've got something they don't You've just gotta keep your eyes open.
