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 [bad word]  colder, through your... veins 

Make up your mind, [bad word]  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
