Anthem

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
