Panic! At The Disco Lyrics

"Can't Fight Against The Youth"

Moving forward, using all my breath
"I'll make it up to you," is all I should have said
Mom and Dad, looked me right between the eyes
Then I awoke, a blinding light

Can't fight against the youth! (Hey!)
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Can't fight against the youth! (Hey!)
You'll never take us alive!
Can't fight against the youth! (Hey!)
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Can't fight against the youth! (Hey!)
You'll never take us alive!
Can't fight against the youth!

Late December, 1995
And though I had the thoughts, no one ever heard them right
Fought resistance nearly my entire life
Then I awoke, a blinding light

Can't fight against the youth! (Hey!)
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Can't fight against the youth! (Hey!)
You'll never take us alive!
Can't fight against the youth! (Hey!)
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Can't fight against the youth! (Hey!)
You'll never take us alive!
Can't fight against the youth!

(Never gonna take us, never gonna break us)
(Future's open wide, and the past is all behind us)
(Never gonna take us, never gonna break us)

Can't fight against the youth! (Hey!)
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Can't fight against the youth! (Hey!)
You'll never take us alive!
Can't fight against the youth! (Hey!)
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Can't fight against the youth! (Hey!)
You'll never take us alive!
Can't fight against the youth! (Hey!)

(Moving forward, using all my breath)
Can't fight against the youth! (Hey!)
"I'll make it up to you," is all I should have said
Can't fight against the youth! (Hey!)
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Can't fight against the youth! (Hey!)
You'll never take us alive!
Can't fight against the youth!

Writer(s): Butch Walker, Brendon Urie

This song was inspired by events of Brendon Urie's life when he decided to leave his family's religion in order to build a music career. He explained in an interview with People, "When I told them I wasn't going to college or on a Mormon mission, that I don't believe in God and I was pursuing music, they were like, 'You've gotta move out.' They cooled off, and when we made our first Panic! at the Disco album, I got a care package from my family with this beautiful letter: 'No matter what, we will always love you.'"

This track can also be found on the band's 2014 "Nicotine" EP.

album: "Too Weird To Live, Too Rare To Die!" (2013)
