Is your secret safe tonight?
Is our 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
is this our last embrace
or will the walls start caving in?


Will they find our hiding place?
It could be wrong, could be wrong, but it should have been right
Is this our last embrace?
It could be wrong, could be wrong, to let our hearts ignite
Or will the walls start caving in?
It could be wrong, could be wrong, are we digging a hole?


(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
It could be wrong, could be wrong, this is out of control
But it should've been right
It could be wrong, could be wrong, it can never last
(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
It could be wrong, could be wrong, must erase it fast
Let our hearts ignite
It could be wrong, could be wrong, but it should have been right
(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
It could be wrong could be....
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
(It could be wrong, could be...)


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


If we live our life in fear
If we live a life in fear
I'll wait a thousand years
I'll wait a thousand years
Just to see you smile again
just to see you smile again


Quell your prayers for love and peace
Kill your prayers for love and peace
You'll wake the thought police
You'll wake the thought police
We can hide the truth inside
we can't hide the truth inside


(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
It could be wrong, could be wrong, but it should have been right
But it should've been right
It could be wrong, could be wrong, to let our hearts ignite
(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
It could be wrong, could be wrong, are we digging a hole?
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 be wrong, could be wrong, this is out of control
It could never last
It could be wrong, could be wrong, it can never last
(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
It could be wrong, could be wrong, must erase it fast
Must erase it fast
It could be wrong, could be wrong, but it should have been right
(It could be wrong, could be wrong)
It could be wrong could be....
But it could've been right
(It could be wrong, could be...)


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


The night has reached its end
The night has reached it's end
We can't pretend
We can't pretend
We must run     
We must run
We must run
We must run
Its time to run
It's time to run
 
Take us away from here
Take us away from here
Protect us from further harm
Protect us from further harm
Resistance!
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

Is our 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 have been right
It could be wrong, could be wrong, to 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 out of control
It could be wrong, could be wrong, it can never last
It could be wrong, could be wrong, must erase it fast
It could be wrong, could be wrong, but it should have been right
It could be wrong could be....

Love is our resistance
They'll keep us apart and they wont to stop breaking us down
Hold me
our lips must always be sealed

If we live a life in fear
I'll wait a thousand years
just to see you smile again

Kill your prayers for love and peace
You'll wake the thought police
we can't hide the truth inside

It could be wrong, could be wrong, but it should have been right
It could be wrong, could be wrong, to 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 out of control
It could be wrong, could be wrong, it can never last
It could be wrong, could be wrong, must erase it fast
It could be wrong, could be wrong, but it should have been right
It could be wrong could be....

Love is our resistance
They'll keep us apart and they wont to stop breaking us down
Hold me
our lips must always be sealed

The night has reached it's end
We can't pretend
We must run       
We must run
Its time to run
Take us away from here
Protect us from further harm

Resistance!
