We're Prepared

We paid all our bills
Ironed our best shirts
Made copies of all our records
Excused our absence
We bought mobile phones
Read every book twice
Finished our chores
Took pictures of our loved ones
We’re prepared
For the world to challenge us
Prepared
For its lies and its truth
We’re prepared
To get out of here
Yes, we’re prepared
To take care of ourselves
We gotta change
Closed our accounts
Cause I meant to finish the story
By burning our diaries
We learned how to swim
And studied your laws
Put the champagne into the fridge
And memorized the way back home
We’re prepared
For the world to challenge us
Prepared
For its lies and its truth
We’re prepared
To get out of here
Yes, we’re prepared
To take care of ourselves
Yeah, yeah
Prepared
For the world to challenge us
Prepared
For its lies and its truth
We’re prepared
To get out of here
Yes, we’re prepared
To look after ourselves
Slow down
We’re prepared
To face the consequences even if it means that we have to let go
To find something new
Everything is all right
