Lyrics The Junior Varsity

The Junior Varsity

The Greatest

I sought out to be the greatest

And my face among them all

We sought to be the greatest

At the bottom we stand

Together we fall

Since I'm out I'm being honest

A tall tale will do

And come on, climb up though you're tired

The higher we go the more we can lose

Thicker skin, you know we got to

Try to tough it out

Our flags flown upside down

We're in rough water

And twenty years has run you ragged

It's time to sink or swim

Where would I begin

Why even bother

Yeah I hope and I pray

Yeah I cry and beg

I tried to sit on the fence

And watch it sink in

I watch in sink in

So your baggage, store it away

It gets in my way

You get in my way

Don't worry about what happens now

Don't worry about the sky

It's on fire

Born again

Yeah I hope and I pray

Yeah I cry and beg

I tried to sit on the fence

And watch it sink in

I watch in sink in

So your baggage, store it away

It gets in my way

You get in my way

Don't worry about what happens now

Don't worry about the sky

It's on fire

Don't worry about what happens now

Don't worry about the signs

This world is coming to an end

I think we all know

Hey man, do you got a ride

No bike, no shoes to walk

Hey man, do you got the time

No time, no pocketwatch

Hey man do you got a life

Change me enough because I

Yeah I hope and I pray

Yeah I cry and beg
