Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
The game was rigged
The ref got tricked
The wrong ones think they're right
You were outnumbered this time
[Verse 3]
But only the young
Only the young
Only the young
Only the young
Can run
Can run
So run and run and run
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
And the big bad man
And his big bad clan
Their hands are stained with red
Oh how quickly they forget
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
Only the young (Only the young)
Only the young (Only the young)
Only the young (Only the young)
Only the young
[Verse 8]
Only the young (Only the young)
Only the young (Only the young)
Only the young (Only the young)
Only the young
[Verse 9]
Only the young (Only the young)
Only the young (Only the young)
Only the young (Only the young)
Only the young can run
[Verse 10]
(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
[Verse 11]
(Only the young)
(Only the young)
(Only the young)
