"Stay Positive" lyrics

"Stay Positive"

(Whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh)
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh)

I gotta lotta old friends that are gettin' back in touch
And it's a pretty good feelin, yeah it feels pretty good
I get a lotta double-takes when I'm comin' around the corners
And it's mostly pretty nice, yeah it's mostly pretty alright

'Cause most kids give me credit for being down with it
When it was back in the day, back when things were way different
When the Youth of Today and the early 7 Seconds
Taught me some of life's most valuable lessons

There's gonna come a time when the scene'll seem less sunny
It'll probably get druggy and the kids'll seem too skinny
There's gonna come a time when she's gonna have to go
With whoever's gonna get her the highest

There's gonna come a time when the true scene leaders
Forget where they differ and get big picture
'Cause the kids at the shows, they'll have kids of their own
The sing-along songs will be our scriptures

(Whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh)
We gotta stay positive
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh)
We gotta stay positive

(Whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh)
We gotta stay positive
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh)
We gotta stay positive

When the chaperone crowned us the king and the queen
I knew that we'd arrived at a unified scene
And all those little lambs from my dreams
Well, they were there too

'Cause it's one thing to start it with a positive jam
And it's another thing to see it all through
And we couldn't have even done this if it wasn't for you

(Whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh)
We gotta stay positive
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh)
We gotta stay positive

(Whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh)
We gotta stay positive
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh)
We gotta stay positive
