Lyrics

[Verse 1] No anthems, no parades, no hands on hearts today And no banners, no flags, no bricks, no broken glass No boots, no marches, no screaming hate today No nods, no winks, no silent 'it's ok' Shut your mouth and open up your eyes Through smoke and mirrors, truth and lies This is my battle cry, this is our battle cry [Chorus] This is not an anthem This is a real rebel song This is not an anthem I know I'm right and you are wrong We don't need your story About death and glory Nothing you believe in The good old ways in the bad old days That's nothing we believe in [Verse 2] No shouts, no screams No dreaming those old dreams No ghosts, no spirits No haunting dead ideas Shut your mouth and open up your eyes Through smoke and mirrors, truth and lies This is my battle cry, this is our battle cry [Chorus] This is not an anthem This is a real rebel song This is not an anthem I know I'm right and you are wrong We don't need your story About death and glory Nothing you believe in The good old ways in the bad old days That's nothing we believe in [Bridge] And they're pushing the buttons in your head Your body is alive, but your soul is dead And one day you'll regret the things you've said Your body is alive, but your soul is dead [Chorus] This is not an anthem This is a real rebel song This is not an anthem I know I'm right and you are wrong We don't need your story About death and glory Nothing you believe in The good old ways in the bad old days That's nothing we believe in
