THE GONG
(Logan)

You’ve gotta do better
You’ve gotta be great
Posting your face all over the place
Gotta succeed, that’s what everyone needs
Or you’re wrong
You’ve gotta be hot
By playing it cool
Gotta be smart, can’t be somebody’s fool
Life is a game
Some don’t play by the rules
Bring it on
Life’s going pop
Save me before the sound of the gong

What are you frightened of
What do you fear
Time slips away as the days disappear
Months into years
Keep on forging ahead ‘cause you’re strong
Boys will be girls
And girls will be boys
Spitting the dummy out
Throwing the toys
Keep getting kicked
Falling down but you still play along
Life’s going pop
Save me before the sound of the gong

Words in your head
And words on the street
Struggling to dance to a different beat
With two left feet
Leaving you wondering where you belong
Gotta stay current
Gotta stay sweet
Nobody cares if you’re real or you cheat
Sometimes you wish you were singing a different song
Life’s going pop
Save me before the sound of the gong
Life’s going pop
Save me before the sound of the gong
