Resistance - 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 lose all the things that prevent you from seeing 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
