Shut Up and Cheer

In a room full of people
Who have clearly made bad choices
I may be the stupidest one here

Cause having heard the stories
And knowing all the drama
I still said I'd join the murder squad this year

I weighed the good and sacrifice
I swore that lightning won't strike twice
And surely this is all under control

This school costs more than I can say
They straight up comped me 60K
But also I'm afraid I sold my soul

So I can say no, this shit is insane
Or I can keep my cool and stay in my lane

And put my pom-poms up
Oh I 'ra, ra, ra' and disappear
Shut up and cheer
Shut up and cheer
I got that big smile on
They won't even know that I am here
Shut up and cheer
Shut up and cheer, and back away

In a world where the wrong kids
Keep getting all the nice things
I have worked so hard for so much less
So then maybe I'm a Titan
Or so maybe I'm a Tiger
I think maybe every high school is a mess

You want a little structure
You just want a smaller class size
And somehow you have ended up in hell

If everyone seems crazy
Maybe I'm the one who's crazy
And all of them are doing really well

So I can run home and call it a day
Or say these goddamn girls won't get in my way

And put my pom-poms up
Oh I 'ra, ra, ra' and disappear
Shut up and cheer
Shut up and cheer
I got that big smile on

They won't even know that I am here
Shut up and cheer
Shut up and cheer and back away
Shut up and cheer and back away

Complicated, god I know it
I'm afraid but I won't show it
I can pray that they'll outgrow it
Got this shot now I won't blow it

So put my pom-poms up
Oh I 'ra, ra, ra' and disappear
Shut up and cheer
Shut up and cheer
I got that big smile on
They won't even know that I am here
Shut up and cheer
Shut up and -

If it's the best you'll get
Take a chance and make it through the year
Get in the clear
Get in the clear
And say that life's not fair
Oh I've so been there
So get in gear
Shut up and cheer
Shut up and cheer and back away
Shut up and cheer
Ready? Okay!
