I like this place, it's a zoo
It seems to agree with you
I still want this to be a fraternity
Not a spastic appeal for another
Like frat boys who sleep together we party better
All the world loves a lover
A portia spider clue
Your enemy's still you
I still want this to be a fraternity
Not a halfway house girl and her doctor
Like frat boys who sleep together we party better
We know what it means to be a brother
I am unshaken
I am unshaken
I am unshaken
I am unshaken
When you're dizzy and time-tripping
Hack away at your memory
Even when it makes you sad I'll be waiting
All you see are possibilities
And your own killer expectations
Like spiders without a victim
We're ready for action
All the way home
I am unshaken
I am unshaken
I am unshaken
