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 (Only the young) Only the young (Only the young) 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
