Zac Efron Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We could be anything we wanna be
You can tell by the noise that the boys are back again
Together making history
It's time to show how to be a superhero
Just like a showdown, Will Smith and Bobby De Niro

Climbing up the walls anytime we want
