[Verse 1]
Moving forward, using all my breath
"I'll make it up to you" is all I should've said
Mom and Dad looked me right between the eyes
Then I awoke, a blinding light
[Chorus]
Can't fight against the youth (Hey)
Whoa-oh-oh
Can't fight against the youth (Hey)
You'll never take us alive
Can't fight against the youth (Hey)
Whoa-oh-oh
Can't fight against the youth (Hey)
You'll never take us alive
Can't fight against the youth
[Verse 2]
Late December, 1995
And though I had the thoughts, no one ever heard them right
Fought resistance nearly my entire life
Then I awoke, a blinding light
[Chorus]
Can't fight against the youth (Hey)
Whoa-oh-oh
Can't fight against the youth (Hey)
You'll never take us alive
Can't fight against the youth (Hey)
Whoa-oh-oh
Can't fight against the youth (Hey)
You'll never take us alive
Can't fight against the youth
[Bridge]
Never gonna take us, never gonna break us
Future's open wide and the past is all behind us
Never gonna take us, never gonna break us
[Chorus]
Can't fight against the youth (Hey)
Whoa-oh-oh
Can't fight against the youth (Hey)
You'll never take us alive
Can't fight against the youth (Hey)
Whoa-oh-oh
Can't fight against the youth (Hey)
You'll never take us alive
Can't fight against the youth
[Outro]
Moving forward, using all my breath
Can't fight against the youth (Hey)
"I'll make it up to you" is all I should've said
Can't fight against the youth (Hey)
Whoa-oh-oh
Can't fight against the youth (Hey)
You'll never take us alive
Can't fight against the youth
