[Intro]

[Verse]
Cracked pavement under weary feet
Another shift, can't make ends meet
Boss man laughs, the rent is due
Empty pockets, nothing new
They sell us dreams on silver screens
While we're just scraping by, it seems

[Chorus]
This is our anthem, loud and clear!
No more bowing down to fear!
We're the backbone, strong and true!
This is the poor man's anthem for you!

[Verse]
Promises fade like morning mist
Another bill we can't resist
Sweat and tears on factory floors
Locking up our bolted doors
They tell us wait, they tell us pray
But change won't come another day

[Chorus]
This is our anthem, loud and clear!
No more bowing down to fear!
We're the backbone, strong and true!
This is the poor man's anthem for you!

[Bridge]
We ain't ashamed of where we stand
Built this city with our hand!
No stolen wealth, no gilded cage
Just honest work on life's hard page!

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
This is our anthem, loud and clear!
No more bowing down to fear!
We're the backbone, strong and true!
This is the poor man's anthem for you!

[Outro]
Anthem! Anthem!
Poor man's anthem!
Anthem! Anthem!
We won't be beaten!
Anthem! Anthem!
For the people!
Anthem! Anthem!
Yeah!
