SAM ROBERTS lyrics : "the resistance"

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 lost 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 lost 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
