Anthem Part two

Everything has fallen to pieces,
Earth is dying help me Jesus
We need guidance, we've been misled,
young and hostile, but not stupid.

Corporate leaders, politicians,
kids can't vote, adults elect them
Laws that rule the school and workplace,
signs that caution, sixteen's unsafe.

We really need to see this through,
we never wanted to be abused
We'll never give up, it's no use,
if we're fucked up you're to blame

Let this train wreck burn more slowly,
kids are victims in this story
Drown our youth with useless warnings,
teenage rules they're fucked and boring

We really need to see this through,
we never wanted to be abused
We'll never give up, it's no use,
if we're fucked up you're to blame

Everything has fallen to pieces,
Everything has fallen to pieces,
Everything has fallen to pieces,
Everything has fallen to ...

We really need to see this through,
we never wanted to be abused,
We'll never give up, it's no use,
if we're fucked up you're to blame!

the rock show

Hanging out behind the club, on the weekend.
Acting stupid, getting drunk with my best friends.
I couldn't wait for the summer and the Warped Tour.
I remember it's the first time that I saw her- there.

She's getting kicked out of school cause she's failing.
I'm kinda nervous, cause I think all her friends hate me.
She's the one, she'll always be there.
She took my hand, and I admit it I swear.

Because I fell in love with the girl at the rock show.
She said "What?" and I told her that I didn't know.
She's so cool, gonna sneak in through her window.
Everything's better when she's around-
I can't wait till her parents go out of town-
I fell in love with the girl at the rock show.

When we said we were gonna move to Vegas-
I remember the look her mother gave us.
17, without a purpose or direction.
We don't owe anyone a fucking explanation.

I fell in love with the girl at the rock show.
She said "What?" and I told her that I didn't know.
She's so cool, gonna sneak in through her window.
Everything's better when she's around.
I can't wait till her parents go out of town.
I fell in love with the girl at the rock show.

Black and white picture of her on my wall.
I waited for her call, she always kept me waiting.
And if I ever got another chance, I'd still ask her to dance.
Because she kept me waiting.

I fell in love with the girl at the rock show.
She said "What?" and I told her that I didn't know.
She's so cool, gonna sneak in through her window.
Everything's better when she's around-
I can't wait till her parents go out of town-
I fell in love with the girl at the rock show.

With the girl at the rock show.
With the girl at the rock show.
(I'll never forget tonight)
With the girl at the rock show......
