is anybody there?
does anybody care?
and how many times have your friends let you down?
is anybody there?
did anybody stare?
oh..

and how many times have your friends let you down?
just open up your heart
just open up your mind
and how many times has your face slipped away?
well is anybody safe?
does anybody pray?

oh life is waiting for you
it's all messed up, but we're alive
oh life is waiting for you
it's all messed up, but we'll survive

and how many days have you just slept away?
is everybody high?
is everyone afraid?
and how many times have you wished you were strong?
have they ever seen your heart?
have they ever seen your pain?

oh life is waiting for you
it's all messed up, but we're alive
oh life is waiting for you
it's all messed up, but we'll survive

she gets high, she gets lost
she gets drunk, by the cost
twice a day, every week
and all her life

she gets high, she gets lost
she gets drunk by the cost
twice a day, every week
and all her life

life is waiting for you
it's all messed up, but we're alive
oh life is waiting for you
it's all messed up, but we'll survive

oh life is waiting for you
it's all messed up but we're alive
oh life is waiting for you oh
it's all messed up, but we're alive
it's all messed up but we'll survive
it's all messed up but we're alive
it s all messed up but we'll, oh we'll
survive
