My Year
ZOMBIES – Cast Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm fired up
Tryouts today
I'm gonna blow 'em away, yeah
Dad says I can't go wrong, no
As long as I keep this on, oh
Seabrook's been the best like forever
Mom's counting on me, no pressure
Cheer's in my family genes
Come on, let's do this thing

Now what up everybody?
Let me set the scene
Fresh new start for your boy young Z
You saw pops for a dad, he's cool
He's just a little stressed about my first day of school

They say, "Be careful, those humans can be mean"
But I'm still going out for the football team
This might look rough but it's home sweet home
Just a little bit of dust and a little bit of mold

But it ain't so bad on this side of the tracks
We make it work with a little bit of swag
On this side we can all keep winning
If we just try to fit in

Watch it come together
Be the best one ever
Because it's my time
This is gonna be my year
Been waiting for this moment
Yeah, I'm gonna own it
You can watch me shine
This is gonna be my year

My year, my year
My, my, my year
My year (my year)
My year (my year)
This is gonna be my year

Now let me introduce you to my friend Eliza
We'll never be accepted, zombies need to rise up
Fight the good fight, stand for what's right
We get the worst jobs and a curfew at night
They make us wear these uniforms that all look the same
Why's it just us being treated this way?
I say we stick it to their institution
You want justice? We need a revolution

Yeah, you got a point but today's an improvement
'Cause baby steps is still movement
Hey Bonzo, come and spit a verse
A zig zagg gwag gwad ziggy got got
Ziggity got goat zag ziggy got zong

He just dropped that in zombie
Yeah, all he said is he's hungry

My cuz Bucky's the man
Look at how perfect he lands (man)
Our very own cheer rock star

No more autographs, please, stay where you are
Another year and I only get better
Another cheer, another varsity letter
This year we just can't lose
Well I'm gonna win, y'all can come too

My year, my year, my year, my year
My year, my year, my year

Watch it come together
Be the best one ever
Because it's my time
This is gonna be my year
Been waiting for this moment
Yeah, I'm gonna own it
You can watch me shine
This is gonna be my year

My year, my year
My, my, my year




My year, my year
This is gonna be my year
