Streets are all empty, the network's deveined
|
Buildings walled up, electricity drained
|
Shots in the square where they mowed them all down
|
River runs red from the center of town
|
|
I worked for my daddy, he worked for his paw
|
'Til they came from the city and they took what they saw
|
We rented back land and we worked what we could
|
But they built it and they stripped it 'til it wasn't no good
|
|
And I know I
|
Yes I know I
|
Gotta hold on
|
Hold on for your love
|
|
Out in the woods, my old truck is on fire
|
Burning the last drops of my enormous desire
|
Men eating men and there's no time for crying
|
I'm tired of the blood and I'm sick of the dying
|
|
And I know I
|
Yes I know I
|
Gotta hold on
|
Hold on for your love
|
|
Burn down the cabin and put out the stars
|
Tear up the fields and leave everything scarred
|
I've been here before but I don't know this place
|
I've been here with you but I can't see your face
|
|
And I know I
|
Yes I know I
|
Gotta hold on
|
Hold on for your love
|
I gotta hold on
|
Hold on for your love
|
|

Hold On For Your Love
