This is the ballad of the scrappy kid
Who's got a heart full of grit and the will to live
E-S-T
E-S-T
This is the epic of the underdog
Who knows his strengths just as well as he knows all of his flaws
E-S-T
E-S-T
And maybe you haven't heard about us yet
But that's okay we're not in a rush
Ready to shake things up and get our feet wet
We've got a bright future ahead of us
Welcome to the end of a century
Of a country and a people and a history
Yes we are the next century
The authors of our own story
One hundred years of
The blue, the black and white
One hundred years alright
One hundred years of
The blue, the black and white
One hundred years alright
This is the ballad of the scrappy kid
Who's got a heart full of grit and the will to live
Never gonna roll over and take your shit
She's always gonna find a way to persist
This is the song for the nation of song
That sang itself to freedom While the world listened on
This is a song for how far we've come
A song for the people to sing along
This is the ballad of the scrappy kid
Who's got a heart full of grit and the will to live
This is the epic of the underdog
Who knows his strengths just as well as he knows all of his flaws
This is the ballad of the scrappy kid
Who's got a heart full of grit and the will to live
Never gonna roll over and take your shit
She's always gonna find a way to persist
We've been through hell and back
But no-one's ever taken us off the track
Welcome to the next century
We are the country, the people, we are E-S-T!
One hundred years of
The blue, the black and white
One hundred years alright
One hundred years of
The blue, the black and white
One hundred years alright
