Up-tempo, driving drum beat with distorted power chords. Bass is prominent and melodic. Vocals are energetic and slightly angsty, with gang vocals on the chorus.)
(Intro)
(Guitar riff with heavy distortion, fast drums, and a driving bass line)
(Verse 1)
Fluorescent lights in the convenience store glow,
Another Friday night, nowhere left to go.
Scrollin' through my phone, just killin' time,
Feelin' kinda lost, a little out of line.
Saw a kid with a hoodie, another with a tie,
Thought, "Man, we're all just tryin' to get by."
Different paths, different dreams, a thousand different names,
But under all that noise, we're playin' the same games.
(Pre-Chorus)
Yeah, the world keeps spinnin' fast, it's a blur,
Tryna find our place, but nothing's quite sure.
Got our own playlists, our own TV shows,
But there's somethin' deeper, everybody knows...
(Chorus)
Oh-oh-oh, we're the United Anthems, singin' out loud!
No matter where you're from, standin' in this crowd.
Got our stories, got our scars, but tonight we're free,
Just a bunch of misfits, wild and meant to be.
From the dive bar floor to the stadium seats,
Yeah, we're all just lookin' for those common beats.
Oh-oh-oh, United Anthems, yeah, that's what we are,
Shining bright, burnin' like a punk rock star!
(Verse 2)
Saw a girl with blue hair, a guy in a suit and vest,
Both just needed a break, put their worries to the test.
Maybe one's a student, buried in their books,
The other's punchin' clocks, tired of the looks.
Could be from the suburbs, or a downtown street,
Just lookin' for a rhythm, somethin' bittersweet.
Yeah, the labels fade when the music takes hold,
A brand new story, waiting to unfold.
(Pre-Chorus)
Yeah, the world keeps spinnin' fast, it's a blur,
Tryna find our place, but nothing's quite sure.
Got our own playlists, our own TV shows,
But there's somethin' deeper, everybody knows...
(Chorus)
Oh-oh-oh, we're the United Anthems, singin' out loud!
No matter where you're from, standin' in this crowd.
Got our stories, got our scars, but tonight we're free,
Just a bunch of misfits, wild and meant to be.
From the dive bar floor to the stadium seats,
Yeah, we're all just lookin' for those common beats.
Oh-oh-oh, United Anthems, yeah, that's what we are,
Shining bright, burnin' like a punk rock star!
(Bridge)
Yeah, we fight and we falter, we rise and we fall,
But tonight we're together, standin' tall.
No politics, no divides, just a unified roar,
This feeling right now, we just want more!
(Outro)
(Fast, energetic guitar riff with cymbal crashes and a final, ringing power chord)
Oh-oh-oh-oh! United Anthems! Yeah!
(Song ends abruptly with a final cymbal crash and guitar feedback)
