Moving forward, using all my breath,
"I'll make it up to you," is all I should have said.
Mom and Dad, looked me right between the eyes,
Then I awoke, a blinding light.

Can't fight against the youth! (Hey!)
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Can't fight against the youth! (Hey!)
You'll never take us alive!
Can't fight against the youth! (Hey!)
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Can't fight against the youth! (Hey!)
You'll never take us alive!
Can't fight against the youth!

In December, 1995,
Though I had the thoughts, no one ever heard them right
Fought resistance nearly my entire life,
Then I awoke, a blinding light.

Can't fight against the youth! (Hey!)
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Can't fight against the youth! (Hey!)
You'll never take us alive!
Can't fight against the youth! (Hey!)
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Can't fight against the youth! (Hey!)
You'll never take us alive!
Can't fight against the youth!

(Never gonna take us, never gonna break us.)
(Futures open wide, and the past is all behind us.)
(Never gonna take us, never gonna break us.)

Can't fight against the youth! (Hey!)
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Can't fight against the youth! (Hey!)
You'll never take us alive!
Can't fight against the youth! (Hey!)
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Can't fight against the youth! (Hey!)
You'll never take us alive!
Can't fight against the youth! (Hey!)

(Moving forward, using all my breath,)
Can't fight against the youth! (Hey!)
("I'll make it up to you," is all I should have said.)
Can't fight against the youth! (Hey!)
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Can't fight against the youth! (Hey!)
You'll never take us alive!
Can't fight against the youth!
