Close your eyes and you clothe yourself
Build your heart an army
To defend your innocence
While you do everything wrong

Don't be scared to walk alone
Don't be scared to like it
There's no time that you must be home
So, sleep where darkness falls

Alive in the age of worry
Smile in the age of worry
Go wild in the age of worry
And say, "Worry, why should I care?"

No, your fight is not with them
Yours is with your timing
Dream your dreams, but don't pretend
Make friends with what you are

Give your heart, then change your mind
You're allowed to do it
'Cause God knows it's been done to you
And somehow you got through it

Alive in the age of worry
Rage in the age of worry
Sing out in the age of worry
And sing, "Worry, why should I care?"

Rage in the age of worry
Act your age in the age of worry
And say, "Worry, get outta here
