It's lost is what you're thinking, 
You've even started drinking, 
And watching TV all day long, 
Don't ever stop believing, 
Ideas that you're conceiving, 
Can't even change the world or take it on

Don't believe a word they say, 
You gotta make it your own way, 
This might be the answer to your prayers

Bring it on, 
Bring it on, 
Tell your friends to come along, 
Raise your hands to the sound, 
Lose your mind and jump around, 
Turn it up, 
Turn it on, 
Tell the world they got it wrong, 
Cause my friend,
It won't be long
So bring it on

Your boss thinks that you're lazy, 
You're friends all think you're crazy, 
Your boyfriend's left, 
The TV's gone,
The edge is moving close now, 
But you're surviving somehow, 
If this is life then bring it on

And don't believe a word they say, 
You gotta make it your own way, 
Hold on tight cause here I go again

So Bring it on, 
Bring it on, 
Tell your friends to come along, 
Raise your hands to the sound, 
Lose your mind and jump around, 
Turn it up, 
Turn it on, 
Tell the world they got it wrong, 
Cause my friend,
It won't be long, 

So bring it on, 
Bring it on, 
Tell your friends to come along, 
Raise your hands to the sound, 
Lose your mind and jump around, 
Turn it up, 
Turn it on, 
Tell the world they got it wrong, 
Cause my friend,
It won't be long, 
So bring it on
