It's times like these that call for drinking Cause we all know that's what you're thinking I've been trying to keep my head held high But my heart won't stop sinking We've learned a lot this year We had our ups and downs but we're better for it And looking back it's safe to say I wouldn't do anything different And I mean it (Go) shout it from the rooftops singing (Three strikes) but we're still swinging Though we know we can't go home Every mistake we make just helps us grow Grow up give in That's what they tell me but I won't let them win In spite of everything cause No matter what they say at the end of the day The only person whose approval really matters is me Forget the criticism We don't need anyone's permission So just listen (Go) shout it from the rooftops singing (Three strikes) but we're still swinging Though we know we can't go home Every mistake we make just helps us grow You bet your ass that we won't back down Our backs to the wall but we'll stand our ground Cause we're in it for the long haul We're in this for the long haul When we look back we'll see The end that justified our means When we look back we'll say At least we did things our way Brace yourself for a fight that you'll never forget A debt we've paid for with every single drop of sweat Brace yourself for a fight that you'll never forget A debt we've paid for with every drop of sweat (Go) shout it from the rooftops singing Three strikes but we're still swinging Though we know we can't go home Every mistake we make just helps us grow You bet your ass that we won't back down Our backs to the wall but we'll stand our ground Cause we're in it for the long haul We're in this for the long haul
