Lyrics Resist - The Living End

Resist

I never thought that it would come to this
Yeah, I never thought that it would come to this
The money’s on the table
And there ain’t no way that anybody’s gonna resist
This is no place for the damned
We have sold our father’s land
We’ll never feel it as long as we don’t resist
You can’t trust a word they say
'Cause they’re only gonna send you away
Wherever our fate lies it couldn’t be worse than this
I’ve seen the lights go out on Broadway
I saw the Roman Empire burning to the ground
And not one life was spared
When the bell tolled for the dead
We’ll never feel it as long as we don’t resist
There is no time for regret
Soon they’ll be ringing the bells again
We’ll never feel as long as we don’t resist
Treated like a criminal, an animal
Behind the gates of hell
Treated like a criminal, an animal
Behind the gates of hell
And if you let me go, I swear to you that I won’t tell
Every night I have the same dream
That I am old and we are free
Out there beyond the gates, a better life awaits
Somewhere else, somewhere else
Somewhere else, somewhere else
And not one life was spared
When the bell tolled for the dead
Searching for salvation
A helping hand becomes a fist
There is no time for regrets
Soon they’ll be ringing the bells again
They’ll never feel it as long as they don’t resist
No one, no one, no one, no one
No one to resist
There’s no one, no one, no one, no one
No one to resist
