"Say It Louder" lyrics

Everybody hates you now
But don't you let it bring you down
Breaking out of your small town
Show them what you're all about
For the people in the back...
Contemplating why you're here
Floating through the atmosphere
Laughing through your crocodile tears
As your moment disappears

Hey kids
Legends and gods
Give them applause
We made it against all odds
Choose
Your weapon of choice
Your beautiful voice
Don't ever let 'em turn you down (Turn it up, turn it up, rock city)
Turn it up! (Turn it up, turn it up, rock city)
Say it louder for the people
Say it louder for the people
Say it louder for the people in the back
Say it louder for the people in the back

Living with a laissez-faire
So you got a cross to bear
Dying 'cause you just don't care
Gave 'em all a real good scare
Is there nothing you can find? (Is there nothing you can find?)
To light the darkness in your mind (Light the darkness in your mind)
Don't you know, you're not alone? (Don't you know, you're not alone?)
Dancing in the neon glow (Dancing in the neon glow)

Hey kids
Legends and gods
Give them applause
We made it against all odds
Choose
Your weapon of choice
Your beautiful voice
Don't ever let 'em turn you down (Turn it up, turn it up, rock city)
Turn it up! (Turn it up, turn it up, rock city)
Say it louder for the people
Say it louder for the people
Say it louder for the people in the back

When this song comes on the radio
When you're headed home after the show (Headed home after the show)
Remember what it's like to be there
You definitely had to be there (Remember what it's like)
When you've got no place to call your home
Just remember how you felt at the show
Remember what it's like to be there
Remember what it's like...

Hey kids
Legends and gods
Give them applause
You made it against all odds
Choose
Your weapon of choice
Your beautiful voice
Don't ever let 'em turn you down (Turn it up, turn it up, rock city)
Turn it up! (Turn it up, turn it up, rock city)
Say it louder for the people
Say it louder for the people
Say it louder for the people in the back
Say it louder for the people in the back
Say it louder for the people in the back
