Taylor Swift – Only The Young Lyrics
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 TIMEBUT 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
