Only The Young

It keeps me awake The look on your face The moment you heard the news You're screaming inside And frozen in time You did all that you could do The game was rigged, the ref got tricked The wrong ones think they're right You were outnumbered, this time But only the young Only the young Only the young Only the young can run Can run, so run And run, and run So every day now You brace for the sound You've only heard on TV You go to class, scared Wondering where the best hiding spot would be And the big bad man and his big bad clan Their hands are stained with red Oh, how quickly, they forget They aren't gonna help us Too busy helping themselves They aren't gonna change this We gotta do it ourselves They think that it's over But it's just begun Only one thing can save us Only the young (only the young) Only the young (only the young) Only the young (only the young) Only the young Only the young (only the young) Only the young (only the young) Only the young (only the young) Only the young Only the young (only the young) (Don't say you're too tired to fight It's just a matter of time Up there's the finish line) Only the young Can run Don't say you're too tired to fight It's just a matter of time (can run) Up there's the finish line So run, and run, and run Don't say you're too tired to fight It's just a matter of time (so run) Up there's the finish line And run, and run, and run Only the young Only the young Only the young
