[Intro]
No matter what happens, you've got to hang on

[Verse 1]
Close your eyes and clone yourself
Build your heart an army
To defend your innocence
If you do everything wrong
Don't be scared to walk alone
Don't be scared to like it
There's no time that you must be home
So sleep where darkness falls

[Chorus]
Alive in the age of worry
Smile in the age of worry
Go out in the age of worry
And say, "Worry, why should I care?"

[Verse 2]
No, your fight is not with them
Yours is with your time here
Dream your dreams, but don't pretend
Be friends with what you are
Give your heart then change your mind
You're allowed to do it
'Cause God knows it's been done to you and
Somehow you got through it
[Chorus]
Alive in the age of worry
Smile in the age of worry
Go out in the age of worry
And say, "Worry, why should I care?"
