"No Anthem" lyrics

No anthems
No parades
No hands on hearts today
No banners
No flags
No bricks, no broken glass
Oh...
Oh...

No boots
No marches
No screaming hate today
No nods
No winks
No silent, it's okay

Shut your mouth and open up your eyes
Through smoke and mirrors, truth and lies
This is my battlecry
This is our battlecry

This is not an anthem
This is a real rebel song
This is not an anthem
I know I'm right and you are wrong
We don't need your story
'Bout death or glory
Nothing you believe in
The good old ways
In the bad old days
That's nothing
Nothing we believe in

No shout
No screams
No dreaming those old dreams
No ghost
No spirits
No haunting dead ideas

Shut your mouth and open up your eyes
Through smoke and mirrors, truth and lies
This is my battlecry
This is my battlecry

This is not an anthem
This is a real rebel song
This is not an anthem
I know I'm right and you are wrong
We don't need your story
'Bout death or glory
Nothing you believe in
The good old ways
In the bad old days
That's nothing
Nothing we believe in

And they're pushing the buttons
In your head
Your body is alive
But your soul is dead
And one day you'll regret
The things you've said
Your body is alive
But your soul is dead

This is not an anthem
This is a real rebel song
This is not an anthem
I know I'm right and you are wrong
We don't need your story
'Bout death or glory
Nothing you believe in
The good old ways
In the bad old days
That's nothing
Nothing we believe in
