[Intro]
Peso... Joga... ginga... roda

[Verse 1]
Vera's face burnt as a memory of bedroom fun
With a lighter and some hairspray
Smoking in the girls' room
Not worse than Shelley's rape behind the McDonald's
By a man she thought was fine, didn't tell anybody
Or maybe back then we just thought that she was getting some
Now we look back and see that she didn't know how

[Pre-Hook]
We never thought that we'd get caught up
Stuck in the teenage waste

[Hook]
As we explode
As we explode
As we explode
As we explode

[Verse 2]
Then getting drunk in the bushes by the road outside the Kmart
Rolling around in them to see if you would get prickled
Slip the acid on your tongue rooftop mall parkade
We couldn't get enough
Then count the stars and the ten million woes
Just you and the universe judging each other

[Pre-Hook]
We never knew that we'd get caught up
Stuck in the teenage waste

[Hook]
As we explode
As we explode
As we explode
As we let go... yeah
Peso... roda... ginga... joga

[Verse 3]
It's a fight, it's a fight and you finally belong
Got a shiner now and it's more than a battle scar
More than a battle scar, such a good, good story to tell
At lunch break, lunch break, lunch break, lunch break
Such a good, good story to tell

[Bridge]
You bully, you break, you bully, you break
You fake, you fake, you fake, you fake
You smoke, you toke, you want, you flaunt, you hit it
And you're in it and it's spinning
And it's wild

[Pre-Hook]
We never thought that we'd get caught up
Stuck in the teenage waste

[Hook]
As we explode
As we explode
As we explode
As we explode

[Outro]
We're counting the stars
We're counting the stars
We're gonna go far, we're gonna go far
We're counting the stars, we're counting the stars
We're not very far, we're not very far
And it's you and me in the open air
It's truth or dare, we don't care
We're counting the stars, we're counting the stars, we're counting the stars, we're counting the stars
