Lyrics

I was in the stands Rooting for our team When I saw the Buccaneer's cheer for the first time Standing on their hands Every move extreme I looked around, do these people see what I see? These Truman girls were super-human girls And when they started to fly, I knew That I would find a way to be up there one day 'Cause in that moment I finally knew what I was born to do (Go, go, go Campbell) Yeah (go Campbell, go Campbell) Yeah (go, go, go Campbell, go) Believed I was gonna be a cheerleader Like the Buccaneer's in front of me So I stumbled 'til I tumbled then I made the team Now my life is every adolescent's favourite dream Slow-motion down the hall (hey) As kids all stop and stare I feel like I'm a part of it all for the first time And if I ever fall (no) I know my squad is there 'Cause I've got the Buccaneer's here behind me These Truman girls are super-human girls And there is nothing that they can't do (Nothing that they can't do) And beyond all the squads They're semi-demi-gods And when our power's combined We do what we were born to do Hey, ready? Okay! My name is Skylar, I rep the Buc's with pride I'm probably too cool for you so friend request denied (aw) I'm Kylar, from Tyler, my real name is Ines But Skylar said to change it and I do what Skylar says My name is Bridget, I rock the parrot head It's hot in here and kinda smells like someone wet the bed (gross) What's up? My name is Steven, I'm so handsome it hurts Don't need an umbrella, I stand under miniskirts (what) Yeah, I'm a bouncer, don't care what the haters say How many dudes can say they pick up girls all day? Love you Love you more Oh yay, cheerleader try-outs are tonight, pick me No, pick me Even mocking cheerleaders Cannot hide the emptiness in my soul Hey You never met me face-to-face If you think cheerleaders are a waste of space We work and we fight and train and hustle We get mani pedi's but we're made of muscle We got one shot that we work all year for We got more balls then the team we cheer for Nationals is getting closer by the minute Last year, we took bronze, this year we're gonna win it Bring it! Counting down the days (hey) Making new routines (oh) Drawing out a tumbling pass for the first time Calling on a play (hey) Here behind the scenes (oh) I look around, do these people see what I see? (I see) These Truman girls are super-human girls We've got the spirit and we'll see it through (We've got the spirit and we'll see it through) We've gladly payed our dues With every sprain and bruise Because we're doing what we're born to do Doing what we're born to do Doing what we're born to do Doing what we're born to do There is so much more to do I can see it in my mind, this moment's mine When we win first place, we'll know how bright we shine We will move like parts of a finely tuned design Not a wasted throw, not a toe across the line (This moment's mine, this moment's mine) We will leave it on the floor We will leave it all on the floor (We will leave it on, leave it on) 'Cause this is why we were born (go, go, go go) Oh (T-R-U-MAN, Truman High) There is no second place You're either flying or falling (go, go, let's go) Oh (T-R-U-MAN, Truman High) Come on, pick up the pace I hear destiny callin' (go, go, let's go) Oh (these Truman girls) (T-R-U-MAN, Truman High) You cannot be afraid to fall down and work through this Oh (these Truman girls) 'Cause this is what we're born to do So let's do it! (These Truman girls) (These Truman girls) (These Truman girls)
