Corrupt the youth inside your walls
Distorted view of one and all
Hold on, Brokaw, hold on
You read the book, you play the game
A fairy tale, you find his name
For so long, so long, so long
A little easier said than done
To be what you want to be
The hardest jump to take is jump number one
You've got to fight to be free
The harder you take, the harder you're going to fall
Until you sing it out
Come join the brigade, come one and all
We the people speak what has to be said
(Never means never again)
Won't you hold on, won't you hold on
(Never means never again)
We tried to rise above, we tried to make amends
(Never means never again)
Won't you hold on, won't you hold on
You pledge allegiance to their flag
A nation led by a helpless man
Won't you hold on
The village fool will rise to rule
We're torn apart by his ridicule
Won't you please hold on
A little easier said than done
To be what you want to be
The hardest jump to take is jump number one
You've got to fight to be free
The harder you take, the harder you're going to fall
Until you sing it out
Come join the brigade, come one and all
We the people speak what has to be said
(Never means never again)
Won't you hold on, won't you hold on
(Never means never again)
We tried to rise above, we tried to make amends
(Never means never again)
Won't you hold on, won't you hold on
Just rise above your ashes
Lord knows the money don't make a man
One man reaps, another heartache to cash in
(Just rise above your ashes)
Lord knows it's part of the plan
(Lord knows the money don't make a man)
Just rise above your ashes
(One man reaps, another heartache to cash in)
Lord knows the money don't make a man
(Lord knows it's part of the plan)
One man reaps, another heartache to cash in
(Just rise above the ashes)
Lord knows it's part of the plan
(Lord knows it's just a part of the plan)
We the people speak what has to be said
(Never means never again)
Won't you hold on, won't you hold on
(Never means never again)
We tried to rise above, we tried to make amends
(Never means never again)
Won't you hold on, won't you hold on
We the people speak what has to be said
(Never means never again)
Won't you hold on, won't you hold on
(Never means never again)
We tried to rise above, we tried to make amends
(Never means never again)
Won't you hold on, won't you hold on
