[Verse 1: Pete Stevens]
I think this life’s much more
Than raising families still built for the nuclear war
You don’t want to conform
So quit your 9-5 if you’re self-aware of your self-worth

[Pre-Chorus: Pete Stevens]
Now the Billionaires are up in space
Sky’s no limit when you can pay
But we can’t escape our fate
It's gonna take some time to get along
Polarized in a standoff
But will it be enough?

[Chorus: Pete Stevens]
When life’s like this
All the twenty-something socialists
Got twenty-something bones to pick
Can’t make amends
Wondering why twenty-something socialists
In a sense lost their innocence

[Verse 2: Harrison Springer & Pete Stevens]
We saw it coming
Watched stone turn to glass
Watched the mountains turn to ash
And let the oceans turn to acid
They'll say we never had a warning
As the night turns into morning
We'll be watching out!
[Pre-Chorus: Pete Stevens, Harrison Springer, Both]
The Billionaires shoot off to space
Screaming out, "We've all been saved!"
And we'll sing our praises
It’s gonna take some time to get along
Pledge allegiance to the sun
As we go down in flames

[Chorus: Pete Stevens]
When life’s like this
All the twenty-something socialists
Got twenty-something bones to pick
Can’t make amends
Wondering why twenty-something socialists
In a sense lost their innocence

[Bridge: Pete Stevens]
Keep on treading water
We’re only sons and daughters
(Tread on, carry on, you’ll be stronger)
Keep on treading water
We’re only sons and daughters
(Tread on, carry on, you’ll be stronger)
Keep on treading water
We’re only sons and daughters
(Tread on, carry on, you’ll be stronger)
Keep on treading water
We’re only sons and daughters
(Tread on, carry on, you’ll be stronger)
(Tread on, carry on, you’ll be stronger)
(Tread on, carry on, you’ll be stronger)
(Tread on, carry on, you’ll be stronger)
(Tread on, carry on, you’ll be stronger)
