Is our secret safe tonight?
Is your secret safe tonight?
And are we out of sight?
And are we out of sight?
Or will our world come tumbling down?
Or will our world come tumbling down?
Will they find our hiding place?
Will they find our hiding place?
Is this our last embrace?
Is this our last embrace?
Or will the walls start caving in?
Or will the walls start caving in?


It could be wrong, could be wrong,
(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
But it should've been right,
But it should've been right
It could be wrong, could be wrong,
(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
To let our hearts ignite,
Let our hearts ignite
It could be wrong, could be wrong,
(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
Are we digging a hole?
Are we digging a hole?
It could be wrong, could be wrong,
(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
This is outta control,
This is outta control
It could be wrong, could be wrong,
 
It could never last,
(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
It could be wrong, could be wrong,
It could never last
Must erase it fast,
(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
It could be wrong, could be wrong,
Must erase it fast
But it should've been right,
(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
It could be wrong, could be wrong,
But it could've been right
 
Love is our resitance
They keep us apart and they won't stop breaking us down
And hold me, our lips must always be sealed


Love is our resistance,
If we live our life in fear
They'll keep us apart and it won't stop breaking us down.
Or wait a thousand years
Hold me,
Just to see you smile again
Our lips must always be sealed.


If we live our life in fear,
Calm your prayers for love and peace
I'll wait a thousand years,
You'll wake the thought police
Just to see you smile again.
We can hide the truth inside
Calm your prayers for love and peace,
You'll wake the Thought Police,
We can hide the truth inside.


It could be wrong, could be wrong,
(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
But it should've been right,
But it should've been right
It could be wrong, could be wrong,
(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
To let our hearts ignite,
Let our hearts ignite
It could be wrong, could be wrong,
(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
Are we digging a hole?
Are we digging a hole?
It could be wrong, could be wrong,
(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
This is outta control,
This is outta control
It could be wrong, could be wrong,
 
It could never last,
(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
It could be wrong, could be wrong,
It could never last
Must erase it fast,
(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
It could be wrong, could be wrong,
Must erase it fast
But it should've been right,
(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
It could be wrong, could be wrong,
But it could've been right


Love is our resistance,
Love is our resistance!
They'll keep us apart and it won't stop breaking us down.
They keep us apart and won't stop breaking us down
Hold me,
And hold me, our lips must always be sealed  
Our lips must always be sealed.


And our dream has reached its end,
Their night has reached its end
We can't pretend,
We can't pretend
We must run,
We must run
???,
We must run
We must run,
It's time to run
We must run,


Take us away from here,
Take us away from here
Protect us from the harm
Protect us from harm
Resistance!

Information

"Resistance" opens with piano and drums and has a Queen-esque chorus.[2] Described in NME magazine as having "tribals drums and a piano melody in the style of 'Starlight.'"[3] In the September 2009 issue of Spin, Matt said, "The song 'Resistance' is basically a retelling of the relationship between Winston and Julia," in reference to the two main characters of George Orwell's 1984.

Lyrics

[i]Completed and Corrected on 7/9/09[/i]


Is your secret safe tonight?
And are we out of sight?
Or will our world come tumbling down?

Will they find our hiding place?
Is this our last embrace?
Or will the walls start caving in?

(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
But it should've been right
(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
Let our hearts ignite
(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
Are we digging a hole?
(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
This is outta control

(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
It could never last
(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
Must erase it fast
(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
But it could've been right

Love is our resitance
They keep us apart and they won't stop breaking us down
And hold me, our lips must always be sealed 

If we live our life in fear
Or wait a thousand years
Just to see you smile again

Calm your prayers for love and peace
You'll wake the thought police
We can hide the truth inside

(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
But it should've been right
(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
Let our hearts ignite
(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
Are we digging a hole?
(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
This is outta control

(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
It could never last
(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
Must erase it fast
(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
But it could've been right

Love is our resistance!
They keep us apart and won't stop breaking us down
And hold me, our lips must always be sealed 

Their night has reached its end
We can't pretend
We must run
We must run
It's time to run

Take us away from here
Protect us from harm
Resistance
