Lyrics The Living End

The Living End

Resist

I never thought that it would come to this

Yeah I never thought that it would come to this

If the money's on the table

Then there ain't no way 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 regrets

Soon they'll be ringing the bell again

We'll never feel it 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

But there beyond the gate, a better life awaits

Somewhere else

And not one life was spared

When the bell tolled for the dead

Searchin' for salvation, a helping hand becomes a fist

There is no time for regrets

Soon they'll be ringing the bells again

We'll never feel it as long as we don't resist

No one to resist
