Sam Roberts - The Resistance lyrics

We are descendants of the free We are the soldiers of the Cause We shouted out the same decree To hold the truth above the law Those were the nights to remember Now they're the nights to forget We sang from May to September and we danced While the city slept I was born a restless soul I never did what I was told That old fire rages on I hope it burns after I'm gone I'm getting tired of the same old thing It only takes one soul to make a change It takes two young hearts to make it beat again Three long nights and you're on the mend Living, loving, swinging, ducking We might fail but we have to try I poked my finger in the public eye Those were the nights to remember Now they're the nights to forget We sang from May to September and we danced While the city slept We are the only chance This is our resistance And if we fail then we all know How it goes, it goes How it goes, it goes I navigate the mines we lay And I'm comin' home but not today I fought my way through the hungry mob The Mayor and his henchmen on the job We faced-off like it was High Noon, We both let fly and our aim was true Yeah! Those were the nights to remember Now they're the nights to forget We sang from May to September and we danced While the city slept Those were the nights to remember Now they're the nights to forget We sang from May to September and we danced While the city slept So even if you can't see it You can still believe in it It's easier if you lose all the things that prevent you from feeling it In the evening sun when the Earth and sky are one We all come undone and remember where we came from So even if you can't see it You can still believe in it It's easier if you lose all the things that prevent you from feeling it In the evening sun when the Earth and sky are one We all come undone and remember where we came from
