Lyrics
Hold Me Back
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.
Driving fast and ditching school, breaking all the precious rules.
It's too hard, to make a living.
I need a kick, I need a girl so badly I could scream.
I'm sick of watching people on T.V.
I feel the wind, in my face
I need a car at the start of the race
I need a highway and a beer
If I don't stop now there's plenty to fear
(Chorus)
Hold Me back, oh won't you hold me back
I can get violent any time
Hold me back, I feel another attack
Brewing deep inside
Hold Me Back, oh won't you Hold me back.
Hold Me Back, oh won't you hold me back
Hold Me Back
Teacher doesn't understand,
Just how dangerous I am.
I need a break, from the world
Now more than ever, I need it good
I need something I can taste
And a vacation from the human race
I need money, I need it bad
If I don't have it, I get mad
If I get mad I do such terrible things
I get real crazy and I make girls scream.
