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
