Lyrics:[]
(Shout) (Shout) I'm shouting about the world outside I'm shouting because you just can't hide I'm shouting from the plain honest truth I'm shouting, there's so much we could do (Shout) I'm shouting, shouting, shouting (Shout) I'm shouting, shouting, shouting (Shout) I'm shouting, shouting, shouting (Shout) I'm shouting, shouting, shouting I'm shouting because it's hard to believe I'm shouting, it's so easy to see I'm shouting, we're waiting for a reply I'm shouting for the very last time (Shout) oh baby, this one's for you (Shout) for everything that you do (Shout) until the battle is won (Shout) we'll live to fight on and on And when you add it all together And when you roll it in a ball And when you watch another pyramid As it's about to fall Remember you were there Remember if you care All those who held their ground When it all came down Said (shout) (Shout) (Shout) oh baby, this one's for you (Shout) for everything that you do (Shout) until the battle is won (Shout) we'll live to fight on and on (Shout) oh baby, this one's for you (Shout) for everything that you do (Shout) until the battle is won (Shout) we'll live to fight on and on (Shout) I'm shouting, shouting, shouting (Shout) I'm shouting, shouting, shouting, shout it out (Shout) I'm shouting, shouting, shouting (Shout) I'm shouting, shouting, shouting, shout it out (Shout) I'm shouting, shouting, shouting (Shout) I'm shouting, shouting, shouting
