Damn, now all the pretty teens and fake IDs around me
Where did they come from?
Oh we'll never look like all the models in the movies
We'll never know
But tonight, call your friends down
We're on our way now
And I feel like shouting, oh, I feel like shouting
Oh, tonight, it don't matter who you're from
Tonight we're 21 under all these lights
(Hey)
I put my heart, I put my soul, I put my life in it
Look at me now
(Hey)
We're feeling dumb with coke and rum, we raise a glass to it
The underdogs
Oohh
(Hey)
I throw my fingers to the ceiling and I won't give in
Look at me now
Wait, give me a minute, just a minute, get my focus straight
They're looking bored
When did all my friends turn into fake IDs and skinny jeans?
I don't belong
But tonight, call your friends down
We're on our way now
And I feel like shouting, oh, I feel like shouting
Oh, tonight, it don't matter who you're from
Tonight we're 21 under all these lights
(Hey)
I put my heart, I put my soul, I put my life in it
Look at me now
(Hey)
We're feeling dumb with coke and rum, we raise a glass to it
The underdogs
Oohh
(Hey)
I throw my fingers to the ceiling and I won't give in
Look at me now
