The Resistance (Album Version)

The Resistance (Album Version) - Sam Roberts

Written by：Sam Roberts

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
