"Anthem" lyrics

If I told you that you could be anything you wanted
Would you take those words and make it mean something?
Always we get pushed around and made to play with other clowns
That we wouldn't even talk to in the street
I'm tryna find my own feet

Well I heard it on the radio
That we could be somebody now
And we could rule the world
And I seen it in the videos
People just like you and me are taking back control

We can rent a car and figure out just who we are
We'll drive a million miles until we've worked it out
They say we won't get far but who the hell are they to judge
When they don't know a thing about where we've come from
No they don't know about us!

Well I heard it on the radio
That we could be somebody now
And we could rule the world
And I seen it in the videos
People just like you and me are taking back control

And when they think there's nothing left
They'll try to put you in a box to fit in with the rest
But what they don't know is that we answer to no-one
Coz we're an army now and you can't take us down
Yeah we're an army now and you can't take us down
We're the new gang in town

Well I heard it on the radio
That we could be somebody now
And we could rule the world
And I seen it in the videos
People just like you and me are taking back control
