It doesn't seem so long now The world was at your feet You'd all those friends around you then Your life was really "neat" You're alone again with nothing And they've all disappeared Wake up to life Stand up, fight back You've everything to gain They say that it's all over I say: "Like hell it is" They told us the same lies when we were young I wish you could see through them Your "buddy buddy" friends You bought them drinks, they watched you sink And bailed out at the end You're better off without them Although you just can't see Let's make a start It's not that hard Together, you and me They'll say that we can't do it I say: "Let's show 'em how" Prove them wrong the way we did when we were young When we were young When we were young They told us the same lies When we were young When they said that you'd get nowhere Did your life tear at the seams? Or did you wake up the next day More determined than you'd been? It's time to look around you Take stock of what you've done Of what you're worth Of those who care And those who cut and run It's time to start believing That you just can't be beat Your own best friend True to the end Stand on your own two feet They'll say it's self delusion I say: "It's self belief" Let's show them how we were when we were young They say that it's all over I say: "Like hell it is" They'll say it's self delusion I say: "It's self belief" Back when we were young Back when we were young
