Everybody hates you now
But don't you let it break you down
Breakin' out of your small town
Show them what you're all about
For the people in the back, back, back, back, back
Contemplatin' why you're here
Floatin' through the atmosphere
Laughin' through your crocodile tears
As your moment disappears

Hey, kids, legends and gods
Give them applause
We made it against all odds
Choose your weapon of choice
Your beautiful voice
Don't ever let them turn you down
(Turn it up, turn it up, up, sing it)
Turn it up
(Turn it up, turn it up, up, sing it)
Say it louder for the peoplе
Say it louder for the peoplе
Say it louder for the people in the back
Back, back, back, back
Say it louder for the people in the back
Back, back, back, back
Hey!

Living with the laissez-faire
So you got a cross to bear
Dying 'cause you just don't care
Gave 'em all a real good scare
Is there nothin' you can find
(Is there nothin' you can find?)
To light the pockets in your mind
(Light the pockets in your mind)
Don't you know you're not alone?
(Don't you know you're not alone?)
Dancin' in the neon glow (Dancing in the neon glow)

Hey, kids, legends and gods
Give them applause
We made it against all odds
Choose your weapon of choice
Your beautiful voice
Don't ever let them turn you down
(Turn it up, turn it up, up, sing it)
Turn it up
(Turn it up, turn it up, up, sing it)
Say it louder for the people
Say it louder for the people
Say it louder for the people in the back

When the song comes on the radio
When you're headed home after the show
(Headed home after the show)
Remember what it's like to be there
You definitely had to be there
When you've got no place to call your home
Just remember how you felt at the show
Remember what it's like to be there
Remember what it's like

Hey, kids, legends and gods
Give them applause
We made it against all odds
Choose your weapon of choice
Your beautiful voice
Don't ever let them turn you down
(Turn it up, turn it up, up, sing it)
Turn it up
(Turn it up, turn it up, up, sing it)
Say it louder for the people
Say it louder for the people
Say it louder for the people in the back
Back, back, back, back
Say it louder for the people in the back, back, back
Oh, woah!
Say it louder for the people in the back
