Manthem Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was alone, I decided to get up, decided to get out
I picked up the phone and I gave my boys a shout
Told them I'd be out around nine, no particular plan
Just whatever comes to mind

[Verse 2]
Bryan called me up, said there's a show tonight
Do you want to go tonight, I'm giving my girl the night off
'Cause I'm hanging out with Steinkopf
Whenever I'm down, I know where my friends can be found
Whenever there's a doubt, I just have to shout

[Chorus]
He's my friend, he's my alibi
My accessory to the crime
A bond that will never die
Until the end of time

[Verse 3]
Another night and we got somewhere to go
Going out, meeting up at the punk rock show
Where the air is hot and the music is loud
My kind of place, this is my kind of crowd
And we'll be here 'til the night is through
Loyal to my friends and sworn to fun
[Chorus]
He's my friend, he's my alibi
My accessory to the crime
A bond that will never die
Until the end of time

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
