“Anthem Part Two” is a protest anthem, looking at how adults are already ruining kids' futures.

[Verse 1]
Everything has
Fallen to pieces
Earth is dyin'
Help me, Jesus
We need guidance
We've been misled
Young and hostile
But not stupid
[Verse 2]
Corporate leaders
Politicians
Kids can't vote, a-

Laws that rule the

Signs that caution
Sixteen's unsafe
[Pre-Chorus]
Ah, ah
Ah
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
Let this train wreck
Burn more slowly
Kids are victims
In this story
Drown the youth with
Useless warnings
Teenage rules, they're
Fucked and boring
[Pre-Chorus]
Ah, ah
Ah
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
Everything has
Fallen to pieces
Everything has
Fallen to pieces
Everything has
Fallen to pieces
Everything has
Fallen to...
[Chorus]
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
