Hangin' On

Word is not bond. Not a handshake proven true Lured to the table with the promise of prosper, I bought in They say that you hold what it takes. That say that you have it Flashing the world in your face. They want you to reach out and grab it all A pen in our hands, Our backs against the wall We are the product We are the work horse Simply the copies of copies filed with no remorse They'll rip the promise from the pages Don't sign your life away Take me back to the day when I could easily say that persistance and devotion would pave my way Oppressor, enforcer, how could you? Your machine is fueled by all our youth So go ahead and sell 'em somethin' to gaze upon I'm not done, So fuck you I'm hangin' on Blatant perjury, despite what they told me Shame on me for being young and naive Shame on you for taking advantage of me Well how can the Fight be considered a Good one if both the opponents just lose in the long run Lose it all A pen in your hand.Your back against the wall We are the product We are the work horse Simply the copies of copies filed with no remorse They'll rip the promise from the pages Don't sign your life away Take me back to the day when I could easily say that persistance and devotion would pave my way Oppressor, enforcer, how could you? Your machine is fueled by all our youth So go ahead and sell 'em somethin' to gaze upon I'm not done, So fuck you I'm hangin' on Sign right here for success Don't forget to cross your T's and dot your I's Relinquish your rights How does one see with eyes so green? This illusion of partnership dictates a dismal reality They'll rip the promise from the pages Don't sign your life away Take me back to the day when I could easily say that persistance and devotion would pave my way Oppressor, enforcer, how could you? Your machine is fueled by all our youth So go ahead and sell 'em something to gaze upon It's all you're depending on
