[English]

One way out is all you're ever goin' to get

From those who hand them out

Don't never let it upset you

'Cause they'll put words into your mouth

They're making you feel so ashamed

They're makin' you takin' the blame

They're makin' you cold in the night

They're makin' you question your heart and your soul

And I think that it's not quite right

Hey stay young and invincible

'Cause we know just what we are

And come what may we're unstoppable

'Cause we know just what we are

Yeah we know just what we are

Yeah we know just what we are

...

Feed your head with all the things you need when you're hungry

And stay in bed and sleep all day as long as it's Sunday

'Cause they'll put words into my mouth

They're making it feel so ashamed

They're makin' me takin' the blame

They're makin' me cold in the night

They're makin' me question my heart and my soul

And I think that it's not quite right

Hey stay young and invincible

'Cause we know just what we are

And come what may we're unstoppable

'Cause we know just what we are

Yeah we know just what we are

Yeah we know just what we are

...

Hey stay young and invincible

'Cause we know just what we are

And come what may we're unstoppable

'Cause we know just what we are

Hey stay young and invincible

'Cause we know just what we are

And come what may my faith's unshakeable

'Cause we know just what we are

...

'Cause we know just what we are

...

'Cause we know just what we are

...

'Cause we know just what we are

...

'Cause we know just what we are

Know just what we are

Know just what we are

Know just what we are

Know just what we are

...

Key Grammar Structures

• One way out is all you're ever goin' to get

  ➔ Future with "going to"

  ➔ In the sentence "One way out is all you're ever "goin' to" get", the phrase "goin' to" expresses a future intention.

• Don't never let it upset you

  ➔ Negative imperative (avoid double negative)

  ➔ The word "Don't" creates a negative command: "Don't let it upset you" means "Do not allow it to upset you".

• They're making you feel so ashamed

  ➔ Causative verb "make" + object + base verb

  ➔ In "They're "making" you "feel" so ashamed", "making" is the causative verb that forces the object "you" to perform the base verb "feel".

• And I think that it's not quite right

  ➔ "that"‑clause as object of a verb

  ➔ The clause "that it's not quite right" functions as the object of the verb "think".

• Hey stay young and invincible

  ➔ Imperative without "to"

  ➔ "stay" is used as a direct command: "Hey, "stay" young and invincible!"

• And come what may we're unstoppable

  ➔ Concessive clause "come what may"

  ➔ "come what may" means "regardless of what happens" and introduces a concessive idea before the main clause.

• Feed your head with all the things you need when you're hungry

  ➔ Imperative + adverbial clause "when you're hungry"

  ➔ "Feed" is a command, and the clause "when you're hungry" tells us the condition under which you should do it.

• And stay in bed and sleep all day as long as it's Sunday

  ➔ Conditional clause "as long as"

  ➔ "as long as" introduces a condition: you may stay in bed "as long as" it is Sunday.

• my faith's unshakeable

  ➔ Contraction "'s" = "is"

  ➔ "faith's" is a contraction of "faith is"; it links the subject "faith" with the adjective "unshakeable".
