II.

Verse 1 :It keeps me awakeThe look on your faceThe moment you heard the newsYou're screaming insideAnd frozen in timeYou did all that you could doThe game was rigged, the ref got trickedThe wrong ones think they're rightYou were outnumbered, this time

Lyrics

Chorus :But only the youngOnly the youngOnly the youngOnly the young can runCan run, so runAnd run, and run

Lyrics

Verse 2 :So every day nowYou brace for the soundYou've only heard on TVYou go to class, scaredWondering where the best hiding spot would beAnd the big bad man and his big bad clanTheir hands are stained with redOh, how quickly, they forget

Lyrics

Outro Chorus :They aren't gonna help usToo busy helping themselvesThey aren't gonna change thisWe gotta do it ourselvesThey think that it's overBut it's just begunOnly one thing can save us(...)Up there's the finish lineSo run, and run, and run

"I wrote it after the [2018] midterm elections, when there were so many young people who rallied for their candidate, whether it was a senator or congressman or congresswoman. It was hard to see so many people feel like they had canvassed and done everything and tried so hard. I saw a lot of young people’s hopes dashed. And I found that to be particularly tragic, because young people are the people who feel the worst effects of gun violence (...)— all these horrific situations that we find ourselves facing right now.”Taylor Swift for Variety Magazine
