Anthem - Resurrection lyrics
Stare each other down at the mall
Every Saturday night.
Fists meet with faces,
And everyone goes places,
At the break of light.
Yeah the youth pour out
With a scream and a shout
Looking for some modern-day Robin Hood
And girls all find guys
And try teenage suicides,
Just to see if they could.
And after the light
Under the black night
The boyfriends take their chance
Yeah they're out of control
But with rhythm and soul
Make fifteen minutes of romancs...
Resurrection,
A detection
Of the sins of time.
A reflection
A protection
Of what's yours and mine.
Well, they'll make us pay
For all that they say
And from the bottom we climb
To the top,
Oh baby don't stop,
We're gonna leave this world behind
We'll rock 'til we drop
Or until time stops,
We're gonna be young until we die...
A girl runs screaming
Leaves her boyfriend steaming,
'Cause he tried to take her too far.
Well there's no more surprises
'Cause as the sun rises,
People wake up in their cars.
Well the hate and the pain
Washed away the rain
And the dew that collects on the grass.
And who's to say
What's right or wrong anyway?
Why does one decide for the mass?
Resurrection,
A detection
Of the sins of time.
A reflection
A protection
Of what's yours and mine.
Well, they'll make us pay
For all that they say
And from the bottom we climb
To the top,
Oh baby don't stop,
We're gonna leave this world behind
We'll rock 'til we drop
Or until time stops,
We're gonna be young until we die...
The rich, the poor,
I don't care anymore,
'Cause I've done all that I can.
Gonna fly to the sky,
I don't wanna know why
When did I become a man?
There's no movers, just shakers,
No givers, just takers
We all got the same plan,
We all get what we can,
But before we die
We all cheat and we lie...
Soap box DJs
Talkin' 'bout yesterdays
Scared from the present into the past.
What was once near and dear
Is now so unclear
And they settle down at last.
Watching late-night TV
To see who I should be
Try to resurrect the days gone by
I learned how to walk
Taught myself how to talk
And I tried to forget how to cry...
Resurrection,
A detection
Of the sins of time.
A reflection
A protection
Of what's yours and mine.
Well, they'll make us pay
For all that they say
And from the bottom we climb
To the top,
Oh baby don't stop,
We're gonna leave this world behind
We'll rock 'til we drop
Or until time stops,
We're gonna be young until we die
