Jesús Villa - The Resistance Lyrics

The wind's been picking up
There's going to be a storm
The skies keep getting darker
You can't say you ain't been warned
And the fires in the distance
Are closer than you think
You watch and study closely
While standing on the brink

And they try to convince you
That there's nothing to fear
And the news cannot be trusted
And it can't happen here

But we all watched it happen
A man was put to death
Held down on the ground
As he ran out of breath
Another gunned down in her bedroom
Another shot down in the road
We took to the streets
'Cause there was nowhere else to go

And sadness turned to anger
We wiped away our tears
We marched in greater numbers shouting
It can't happen here

Some time after midnight
The tanks came rolling in
Just like in Eastern Europe
Or Tiananmen
I heard the sound of gunshots
Through the stinging haze
As history repeats itself
In unexpected ways

And the Devil holds the Bible up
While his disciples cheer
And we hold our heads in our hands and say
It can't happen here

Famine, war, and pestilence
Are riding into town
Death just stands back waiting
Just hanging around
And the people on the Internet
Are combing through the signs
But it's already too late
Yeah it's already time

In this age of information
There ain't too much that's clear
'Cept one thing I'm sure of
It can't happen here

Yeah the wind's been picking up
There's going to be a change
The way things have been ordered
Will soon be rearranged
Eventually the resistance
Swings back the pendulum
I don't now when it's coming
But I know it's going to come
