The Living End - Resist lyrics

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
