Oh, is there anything left to say?

But they're all the same

You don't just climb the hill and grab the crown
            Eb
But they're all the same
          C/E
Scared of judgment day
            F                 D/F#
And they're sure you'll turn around

And go back home

But no

We will defeat the other guy

Gonna sit there in defeat?

You better suck it up, boy, and get up off the ground
              F/A
(Ooh, where's your pride?)
Bb                       Dm
You forget they made you bleed
     Gm                D7                Gm
They kicked you like a dog when you were down
           Eb
If there's anyone (Anyone)
C/E
Lookin' out above (Lookin' out)
             F            D/F#        Gm     Ab
Then they'll never see us comin' to reclaim…

Our glorious day!
