Stay gold, Ponyboy. Stay gold.
Backtrack to the church parking lot where all of this was born:
a bunch of nerdy kids who swore that they would get the girl.
Well, they tried everything
from sports to playing bass,
but soon they got lost in the sound.
We're in the shark tank.
Stick tight with all your friends.
Deep breathe before the plunge,
just remember where you came from.
The bond we share is snack and jokes and always staying young,
circle pits and getting sick from eating too much pizza.
So raise your hands up high.
Make a fist and punch the sky.
Surf up to the front to grab the mic and sing with us.
Tried and true,
won't be moved:
misfit youth with nothing to prove.
We're the kids who don't belong.
We're in the shark tank.
Stick tight with all your friends.
Deep breathe before the plunge,
just remember where you came from.
Stay gold, Ponyboy. Stay gold.
Let's never grow up.
Head up, fists tight, stay true, keep sight.
Let's never grow old.
