Hey there everybody I'm depression, different from you guys' old impression;
I may sometimes appear just lazy, and I don't often cry all day!
Hello comrades I'm bipolar two, the same is mostly true for me too;
turbulent, inconsistent, maybe a little incompetent, but I could still fit in well, right?
Everyone out there! Bipolar one's here! I sing I yell, did you hear?
No, cuz I'm hospitalized? A few more weeks and I'll see the light!
Inpatient? Impatient! I don't need that kind of treatment!
Take the medicine twice a day, and I can appear happy and gay! (别杠这个“gay”了)
Happy and gay? What did you say? I may laugh but I'm rarely happy!
Things I love, foods I crave, don't make sense when the depression's grave!
You eat less? I wish to be this! When episodes come I overindulge!
Bipolar two, that's not true! We may all eat more or less when episodes arrive!
That's quite accurate, it depends on the patient, one-size-fits-all description is no longer relevant!
Sometimes I feel like a hero, I feel greater than usual, three hours' sleep and my energy's full, comrades fight for the International! (manic episodes)
I'll join you, for our goal, sing El Pueblo Unido! (also has hypomanic episodes)
Here we go, rock and roll, grab that stuff worth a million euro!
No, no, no, how crazy are you? My hypomanic episodes are milder than you!
I sleep less, I feel good, but other people barely notice that!
Agree with you! That's how I feel! Terribly down but very few know! Not necessarily suicidal!
When I say "life has no meaning", that's a sign it's worsening!
If I say I wanna disappear, that means I'm in despair!
Don't make us stay up for work, that's triggering symptoms' onset!
All we want is to live the normal way, don't be too pushy on our GPA!
When mania comes it's not my fault, when depression comes it's not my fault!
And down with discrimination, illnesses can not define a person!

Get up and go, bipolar and depression
To see the doc, and take your medicine
The cure is hard, the treatment is easy
And you'll see, the broken life coming back to its beauty,
and believe one day,
withered flowers will bloom once again.
No need to fight, no more involution
Come into terms with the rocky condition
We shall once more, live a normal life
No staying up, no competition.
And now the troubled, united in their struggle, will never give up till victory...
The people united will never be defeated!
