Lyrics
You were meant to live large, come on, take charge

Let's go light the world up

Let's not wait until the end to be the things we wish we'd been

You were meant to live life, come on, let's fly

You're a super-trouper spotlight

We're gonna jump on the count of three

Here it comes now

1 - 2 - 3 - jump!



If you were a country you'd be Switzerland

You never take a stand

Your policy is never to offend

If you were in a movie you'd be thug #5

'Cause you don't try out for a starring role

But your name belongs in lights

And if you got a G.I. Joe you'd never open up the box

Safe inside its plastic prison

Waiting for the day it rots



And I'm sorry that I'm getting on your case

True friends, they stab you in the face



'Cause you were meant to live large, come on, take charge

Let's go light the world up

Let's not wait until the end to be the things we wish we'd been

You were meant to live life, come on, let's fly

You're a super-trouper spotlight

We're gonna jump on the count of three

Here it comes now

1 - 2 - 3 - jump!

Awwww YAAAY TEAM FEELS! I love the music choice, it's so totally fitting, and this is just so cheerful and adorable (even despite the, uh, stabbing and everything), I just want to draw hearts around all of them. Excellent editing, too, I love G.I. Joe!Davin and the sign flickering on the static noise, all those little things that line up so well! Thank you so much!

[scribe]

DAMN IT TBM, WELL HIDDEN. :D

[thirdblindmouse]

Hee! My secret trick is to always talk loudly and enthusiastically about whatever source it is I've vidded. It's foolproof! ;)

[niyalune]

Whooo this is fun! Great editing! And the credits are awesome.

[cathexys]

Oh, that was lovely. Such a pretty show and such a great mix of clips and music and it reminds me of all the reasons I love them all a whole lot. Thank you :)

[were_duck]

TEEEEEEEAMMMMMMMM Oh gosh this is SO FUN AND MAKES ME G R I N :D

[serrico]

TEAM. I especially enjoyed the individual intros, with Dutch's attitude towards politics, Johnny as the eternal sidekick, and D'Avin as the rotting GI Joe. :D

[tassosss]

I love this!

[par_avion]

Aww, my space bbs. This was great! The GI Joe lines really worked and the whole thing made me smile.

[themadlurker]

Wow!!! I love this! Gorgeous editing, gorgeous vid <3

[starrylizard]

Bwaha! Loving this hard! :D

[catwalksalone]

Aww, yay, teeeeam! Such a pretty vid and so beautifully cut to the lyrics. Awesome!

[monanotlisa]

Man, this fantastic — smart and funny:

“count of three” - so perfect for Dutch, Johnny, and D’avin.

The line about not wanting to offend, and the Delle Seyah Kendry pivot: PERFECTION.

“Switzerland” - our Theory!RAC, and the touted party line.

GI Joe — the cut to D’avin there! Ahh. Yes. Definitely not staying in that box…

[anoel]

Awww this is so cute and joyful and fun!

[heresluck]

This vid is SO CHARMING. I would not have pegged this song for Killjoys at all, because it's like 800% more cheerful and candy-colored than the show, but it turns out that it is actually perfect for how I FEEL about their adorable faces and their team bond. WHO KNEW. ♥

[jetpack_monkey]

*flails* MY PEOPLE. *draws hearts all over this vid*

[giandujakiss]

Hah! Such a great use of the song - that was hilarious!

[valoise]

That was awesome!

[colls]

This is a perfect, feel-good vid and I adore everything about it - the song choice, the timing, the amazing editing.
For as light-hearted and uplifting (and FUN!) this is, I also love how you sneak some deeper stuff in like Dutch/Switzerland (never take a stand how for most of the season she was running away from her past instead of confronting it), Johnny/Thug#5 (Cause you don't try out for a starring role, But your name belongs in lights *draws hearts around Johnny*), and the D'Avin/G.I. Joe (his plastic prison).

And the stabbing bit..... true friends indeed.

This was super fun. I only watched the first few episodes but this really makes me want to catch up with the rest of this show! Nice job :D

[frayadjacent]

Yay, this is great! I loved how you structured the first verse, with each section being about Dutch, then John, then, uh, John's brother (sorry!). And then in the chorus you explored them all together and their relationships! You captured the fun spirit of the show really well. And the awesome teaminess of them!

[revolutionaryjo]

Awww! My sweet space children! This was so much fun! And oh my gosh, that D'av GI Joe section.

[echan]

Wheeeeee so fun and happy buds! I should see this show.

[samjohnsson]

So happy and upbeat and yet so nicely sarcastic (the action figure verse was spot on)! Brilliant!
