Verse
We met in the quicksand
Past the point of no return
Got ourselves in a real jam
Another lesson to learn

Verse
There was nobody coming
No one to save the day
So we just kept on going
And now we’re on our way

Chorus
But on days like these, you know I wonder why
Nobody ever told me that life would make me cry?
And on days like these, I start to understand
That this is up to me, I gotta make a plan

Verse
You would have told me had I known you
When I was starting out.
But by the time you met me,
We were on the battleground

Verse
Now we’re blowing out the windows
And we’re playing for our lives
Yeah, we’re going where we have to
And we’re gonna survive!

Chorus
But on days like these, you know I wonder why
Nobody ever told me that life would make me cry?
And on days like these, I start to understand
That this is up to me, I gotta make a plan

Bridge
This is our call to action
Not gonna take this lying down
Gonna get a reaction
Have more fun than we’re allowed

This is where we make our stand
Time to stick it to “The Man”
We’ve got to live it while we can...

Chorus
’cuz on days like these, you know I wonder why
Nobody ever told me that life would make me cry?
And on days like these, I start to understand
That this is up to me, I gotta make a plan
