RESISTANCE

Words and music by Lachlan Irvine

[G]/////[C][D] [G]/////[C][D]

[G] When the lunatics take over the asylum, [C][D]
And you're [G] feeling like there's nothing to be done; [C][D]
Don't [G] ever let them tell you you are powerless [C][D]
[G] Sometimes all it takes is the power of one. [C][D]
[C] Resistance, [G] resistance, [C] resistance is the only [D] way.
[C] Resistance, [G] resistance,
[C] Resistance, it's [D] got to start to-[G]-day. [C][D] [G]/////[C][D]

When a [G] government has lost its moral compass, [C][D]
And [G] you can't follow where they want to take you; [C][D]
If you [G] hold your tongue they'll take that for compliance, [C][D]
So [G] raise your voice and show them they can't break you. [C][D]
[C] Resistance, [G] resistance, [C] resistance is the only [D] way.
[C] Resistance, [G] resistance,
[C] Resistance, it's [D] got to start to-[G]-day. [C][D] [G]/////[C][D]

[G] When leaders try to strip away your freedoms, [C][D]
By [G] keeping you in a constant state of fear; [C][D]
[G] They disrespect the sacrifice of heroes, [C][D]
[G] Who won those freedoms with blood and sweat and tears. [C][D]
[C] Resistance, [G] resistance, [C] resistance is the only [D] way.
[C] Resistance, [G] resistance,
[C] Resistance, it's [D] got to start to-[G]-day. [C][D] [G]/////[C][D]

If you're [G] feeling like there's no-one who will hear you, [C][D]
[G] The moment that you speak out you will see [C][D]
[G] A multitude who see the world as you do; [C][D]
[G] Who knows, but one of them just might be me. [C][D]
[C] Resistance, [G] resistance, [C] resistance is the only [D] way.
[C] Resistance, [G] resistance,
[C] Resistance, it's [D] got to start to-[G]-day. [C][D] [G]/////[C][D]

[C] Resistance, [G] resistance, [C] resistance is the only [D] way.
[C] Resistance, [G] resistance,
[C] Resistance, we've [D] got to start to-[G]-day. [C][D] [G]/////[C][D]
[G]/////[C][D][G]
