Benji: The Anthem is really a song about, I guess, individuality. It's like a celebration of being
different and standing on your own and not wanting to be like anybody else.
Paul : Hm...Good explanation.
Benji: Celebration.
It's a new day
But it all feels old
It's a good life
That's what I'm told
But everything it all just feels the same
At my high school
It felt more to me
Like a jail cell
A penitentiary
My time spent there, it only made me see
That I don't ever wanna be like you
I don't wanna do the things you do
I'm never gonna hear the words you say
And I don't ever wanna
I don't ever wanna be you
Don't wanna be just like you
What I'm sayin' is
This is the anthem
Throw all your hands up
You, don't wanna be you
Go to college
Or university
Get a real job
That's what they said to me
But I could never live the way they want
I'm gonna get by
And just do my time
At a stepwall
They all get in line
I'm just a minor threat so pay no mind
Do you really want to be like them?
Do you really wanna be another trend?
Do you wanna be part of the crowd?
Cuz I don't ever wanna
I don't ever wanna be you
Don't wanna be just like you
What I'm sayin' is
This is the anthem
Throw all your hands up
You, don't wanna be you
Shake it once that's fine
Shake it twice that's ok
Shake it 3 times you're playing with yourself again
You, don't wanna be just like you (what I'm sayin' is)
This is the anthem
Throw all your hands up
Yell if you feel me
Sing if you're with me
You, don't wanna be just like you (just like you)
This is the anthem
Throw all your hands up
Yell if you feel me
Sing if you're with me
Another loser anthem (whoa)
Another loser anthem (whoa)
Another loser anthem (whoa)
Another loser anthem
