Lyrics for Anthem as interpreted by piesupreme

Anthem Lyrics
Home show, mom wont know
Run out the back door
Hes passed out on the floor
Third time, been caught twice
Forgive our neighbor Bob
I think he humped the dog

But good things come to those who wait
Cause she laid me
And mom and dad posses the key
Instant slavery
No need explain the plan
No need to even bother
Ill pack my bags I swear Ill run
Wish my friends were 21

White lies, bloodshot eyes
Breath of alcohol
Stole it from the mall
Hows Chris marked with lipstick
Better call their fathers
Sleeping with your daughters
But good things come to those who wait
Cause she laid me
And mom and dad posses the key
Instant slavery
No need explain the plan
No need to even bother
Ill pack my bags I swear Ill run
Wish my friends were 21

You dont belong, you left the kids to carry on
You planned their fall
Too bad youre wrong, dont need a mom dad slave drive song
I time bomb

Turn low the radio
I think I hear my dad
Yelling at the band

But good things come to those who wait
Cause she laid me
And mom and dad posses the key
Instant slavery
No need explain the plan
No need to even bother
Ill pack my bags I swear Ill run
Wish my friends were 21

You dont belong, you left the kids to carry on
You planned their fall
Too bad youre wrong, dont need a mom dad slave drive song
I time bomb

I'm not positive on this but i think its about highschool in general from the perspective of someone who likes to party
this is just my guess so if you all disagree than no problem
this is by far my favorite song on this cd

this song to me means the insecurites and faults of a fucked up family, "You dont belong, you left the kids to carry on, You planned their fall - Too bad youre wrong, dont need a mom dad slave drive song
I time bomb" the whole I time bomb line basically sums up the entire point of the song. there is so much time before he explodes and cant take it anymore, even possibly suicide.

Excellent song.. It's about a dude's parents going away and having his friends throw a party at his house. It brings back many fond memories. I still have very similar experiences even though I've moved out of my parents house and am at university now. I love the memories and experiences

this song also reminds me of Dazed and Confused (the film not the song, although both the song and the film are divine).

this song is soo good...tom...not the best singer, but it sounds soo good...if that makes any sense... I love it...probably best parts examples would be at the end the whole "I time bomb" outro, the "Cat like thief" chorus from boxcar racer and the chorus to "stay together for the kids"

It's amazing how many people have commented on this song. I think it is cool how this song can be interpreted into many different interpretations.
For me, this song has that house party feel with a deeper underlying message. The message being "the reason that we teens and tweens act these ways is because we are confused about a lot of things!" Well thats kinda my wave of thinking
Anyhow, neat sounding song. Holla
