Pull off your head and we'll both come up screaming.
Pull up your head off the floor, come up screaming.
So take a look at fear, does it fit you?
So take that look out of here, it doesn't fit you.
Throw out your elephant phone.
Pull up your head off the floor.
Throw out your elephant phone
Come on, scream it.
Pull up your head off the floor
Come up screaming.
Your mom's screaming
Come up screaming

I still think my version makes more sense.
In a free country, tree stay with you
In a big country, dreams stay with you.
Sterilize, here we come
Stay alive, here we go
