Irrational Anthem
The opening track to the Plain White T's sixth album "Wonders of the Younger" is a manifesto for those who love to stand out from the crowd! This rousing rock anthem juxtaposes a heavy, guitar-driven chorus with quieter, introspective verses. From a lyrical standpoint it works best as a closer, but it could also be used to open a show. With a couple of cuts it would even function as a midtempo chart! It features a female soloist for the second verse.
Instrumentation: Piano/Synth/Guitar/Bass/Drums/Percussion/2 Tpt/2 Tbn/Alto, Tenor Sax

I remember wishing I was older Always something big around the corner But as the years go by, I'm growing younger Open eyes and head still filled with wonder Pledge allegiance, everybody stand up This is our irrational anthem We don't care if they don't understand us This is our irrational, irrational anthem Let your mind go anywhere it wants to Make your wildest wishes and watch them all come true Somehow, somewhere we forgot Cowboys, indians, astronauts All the dreams that we could not hold on to Take it back, oh, we gotta take it back! There's nothing worse than normal There's no fun in mundane When everyone else gets older I refuse to change Weak or strong, right or wrong Whose side are you on? Pledge allegiance, everybody stand up This is our irrational anthem We don't care if they don't understand us This is our irrational, irrational anthem Oh, hey! Everybody stand up and sing our irrational anthem Oh, hey! Everybody stand up and pledge allegiance Oh, Oh, everybody stand up! (Plain White T's)
