Religion got old And the future got scary In spite of it all Otto married Penelope Tonight we don't know What to say to the kids But you better believe Existence is a gift A baby is born A new day is dawning They'll sing different songs Tell different stories The wheels keep on turning Cars keep on crashing The past is a present We're always unwrapping So you try to Be yourself Believe in yourself Bet on yourself You owe it to yourself Good luck out there We're all rooting for you Kick up a fuss Be your own superhero Be sure to believe In the things that you say Pick up some rubbish You find on your way Society's ills Fixed in an instant Completely impossible Don't even try it Surely there's no harm Searching in the dark Who knows where it ends Who knows where it starts You know you should Know Yourself You should be yourself Believe in yourself You'll owe it to yourself When the shit hits the fan And the cookie has crumbled Over and over and over We told you Even distribution Even a glimpse of it Teachers and nurses Don't need executives All our best minds working in finance Take more from the plate Than they bring back to it Real value is based on how you spend your time And if you wanna be happy you're gonna have to learn to be kind And to Love yourself Know yourself Be yourself You owe it to everybody else
