When I was a young frosh The seniors took me into the archives To see the gates of hell
They said Frosh, when ya grow up Will you be the authors of the website Immortalize thyselves
They said this ain’t just a link it’s The living history of East Dorm Go forth and trawl all day
Because one day we’ll leave you A zombie, to walk outside the bubble Keep our Funwiki page
Sometimes I get the feeling they’re watching over me And other times I truly feel alone But through the STEMs, Writ1, Frosh Chem, the living comfort me We minimize regrets before we go
We carry on, We carry on, And though you’re dead and gone believe me, Your memory will carry on, will carry on And though the wiki can contain it There’s no way to explain it
E80 Sends you reeling from graduation dreams ‘Shenanigans distract you from your goal’ So conquer strife balance work-life Devote your heart to East But Parsons gets to claim my Fourier soul
I carry on, I carry on, And though you’re bitter and deflated Your memory will carry on We’ll carry on And though the froshlings will replace you They never can replace you
Drama spreads throughout our older peers Great traditions die throughout the years But new ones take their place so the frosh can carry on
When I was young I dreamed of glory Let me tell you what I wish I’d known You’ve no control who tells your story Who lives who dies who tells your story
So say goodbye we’re gonna miss you You’re gonna die that’s not the issue Yearning for fools who called this place home A shadow past a ghost still left behind
I’m just a nerd I’m not a hero I’m just a boy who had to take time off But you can see I never yielded, and I’m Not Dead
I carry on I carry on And though you’re dead and gone believe me Your memory will carry on I’ll carry on And though you’re bitter and exhausted Your freshman comrade carries on
(When I was gone I dreamed of glory I promise this I’ll join you all next year When you go I’ll tell your story Want you to know I’ll tell your story)
I carry on
(Come what may I know that you’ll be fine Every day We’re losing precious time Tell me if You find a place like this And one more thing) I carry on
