Hold the line, hey

Do you fight for pride or glory?

Do you hold your scars close to your heart?

Fall behind, hey

Who will live to tell your story?

You were taught to leave no man behind

I don't know where you have gone

You used to be the heart of this town

Now you waste your tears on someone else

I don't know where you are now

You used to have a heart of gold

Only trust yourself and no one else

Hold your fire, hey

Brave young men will fall before they

Ever get to watch their young ones grow

Hear me now, hey

Carry all my sins and I will

Learn to love the flag and nothing more

Ooh

I don't know where you have gone

You used to be the heart of this town

Waste all your tears on someone else

I don't know where you are now

You used to have a heart of gold

Only trust yourself and no one else

Oh, no one else

Woah

Woah

Well, you've got your back against the wall

Say, where's your backbone, brother?

Where's your backbone, brother?

Where's your backbone, brother?

Where's your backbone, brother?

Where's your backbone, brother?

Where's your backbone, brother?

Where's your backbone, brother?

You've got your back against the wall

Say, where's your backbone, brother?

Where's your backbone, brother?

Where's your backbone, brother?
