Growin' up, you were taught to believe
That everyone was created equal in the master plan...
The world's a place, of heroes an' villains
Better watch out, or you'll end up killin' what you don't... understand..
Oh all your life you ain' never had nothin', ta call your own..
An' the dreams you hold so close, are bein' raped an' torn
And yer barely holdin'... on...
Yer barely holdin'... on...
Oh I'm sick an' tired of waitin' for tomorrow
Promisin' me the world.. that I' been hopin' for..
Oh I wanna live, an' I wanna feel
The things in my life, that I' been searchin', for.. so long....
Holdin' on with all your might, ridin' the storm...
Drownin' in your sorrow, only locks the door
And yer barely holdin'... on...
Yer barely holdin'... on...
And yer barely
Lost yer job, lost yer money, you're losin' yourself
There's no.. turnin' back yer up against the wall..
Oh day by day, yer gettin' older
You can feel your blood, runnin' colder, through your... veins
Make up your mind, stop runnin' away..
Cuz if you keep this up, you're gonna end up in your grave
An' yer barely, holdin' on...
Yer barely holdin'... on...
And yer barely holdin'... on...
And yer barely holdin'.. on...
And yer barely, and yer barely, holdin' on....
The world's a place, o' heroes an' villains
Ya better watch out
