Who's the captain of the ship
I think it's sinking
I know, I know, I don't know
What I know, what was I thinking?

Paper dolls, here for you folding
Schools like malls that are all closing
Afraid to dance, don't talk to strangers
Avoid romance, read what the sign says

Parental guidance is advised
Another one of us survives

Blah, blah, blah, blah, feels so good to be alive
Blah, blah, blah, blah, my life was easier at five
Blah, blah, blah, blah, feels so good to be alive
Blah, blah, blah, blah, as for me, I will get by

What was I thinking?

I can't make up my own mind, can't even make my bed
Yeah, I should clean up my act but first I'll clean up my head
I'm lacking confidence, I don't apply myself
Be sure check up on me to check yourself

'Cause we're paper dolls, here for you folding
Schools like malls that are all closing
Afraid to dance, don't talk to strangers
Avoid romance, read what the sign says

Parental guidance is surprised
Another one of us survives

Blah, blah, blah, blah, feels so good to be alive
Blah, blah, blah, blah, my life was easier at five
Blah, blah, blah, blah, feels so good to be alive
Blah, blah, blah, blah, as for me, I will get by

As bad as it is, as bad as it is
We'll get through, we'll get through, we'll get through

'Cause we're paper dolls, here for you folding
Schools like malls that are all closing
Afraid to dance, don't talk to strangers
Avoid romance, read what the sign says

Hey Maryjane, in certain places
Blows the pain right off our faces
Don't talk to dirt or catch a bullet
For once was right just take that bullshit

Blah, blah, blah, blah, feels so good to be alive
Blah, blah, blah, blah, my life was easier at five
Blah, blah, blah, blah, feels so good to be alive
Blah, blah, blah, blah, as for me, I will get by
Blah blah blah, as for me I will survive

What was I thinking?

Growing up

Is getting old

Growing up
