Lyrics
Hangin' On
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 persistence 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 persistence 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 persistence 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
