Attending prep school wasn’t all that bad
I wasn’t jealous of those that had more than I had
Unlike the moon and the stars
And those lovers in their cars
I never once took you for granted

(chorus)
You’re safe and you’re sound
So much more prepared than I was
Didn’t take one for the team
You took one for me
Taught and college-bound
So much more prepared than I was
You didn’t take one for the team
You took one for me

We will build this revolution
Out of basements made of music
I will document my love
For my friends and acquaintances
So don’t be threatened
By my good intentions
They’re for you
I’m there for you

(chorus)
You’re safe and you’re sound
So much more prepared than I was
Didn’t take one for the team
You took one for me
Taught and college-bound
So much more prepared than I was
You didn’t take one for the team
You took one for me
Piecing our lives back together
From the paper trails of our ancestors
No one told us where they would lead
(x2)

We’re hiding under our beds
With our hands over our heads
Just trying to keep our composure
We’re hiding behind our desks
With our hands under our chins
Just trying to stay above water
(x2)
