Anthem Lyrics
[Verse 1: Theresa Jarvis]
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
[Chorus: Theresa Jarvis]
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
[Verse 2: Barns Courtney]
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
[Chorus: Theresa Jarvis & Barns Courtney]
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
[Bridge: Theresa Jarvis & Barns Courtney]
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
'Cause 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
[Chorus: Theresa Jarvis, Theresa Jarvis & Barns Courtney]
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

I think it was quite an interesting approach without having drums and stuff on there. A lot of our choruses are quite big, anthemic, very direct, and this is, ‘How can we have a chorus that sounds massive but doesn’t necessarily use big guitars and massive drums and stuff?’ It was quite fun to try a...
