  • 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
    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 Writer/s: Joel Little, Taylor Swift
