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 on And yer barely, and yer barely, holdin' on
The world's a place, o' heroes an' villains Ya better watch out
