In my mind
I hold on to the dream
Through fading sanity
A cold heart never bleeds, no
Now tonight
We were meant to be
Give me faith in my belief
And I can hardly breathe

I can hardly breathe
The things you do to me
I can’t believe

You stand for something or ya die for nothin’
You, sick of living this nightmare
Hey! You son of a gun
Lightin’ your fire to all around you
You’re not goin’ down
Takin’ your shots
Below the belt
Say! Say it out loud
Bang your head against the wall for nothin’
Stand! Stand your ground
Stand for what you believe in

Twist, unfolding, sense eroding
Now I'm holding on
Hold on to all those things about you
Now I'm holding on
Hold on to the dream

Hey! Come together from all this fightin’
Hey! Come together united
You, you son of a gun
Lookin’ out your window comin’ to get you
Talkin’ your spit
Walkin’ these boots all over it
Say! Say it out loud
Bang your head against the wall for nothin’
Stand! Stand your ground
Stand for what you believe in

Twist, unfolding, sense eroding
Come back from above this land
Abdicate the crown you’re stealing
Off the ropes
Your scripted cheatin’?
No

You
High class, no class, carpetbagger
You
Thinkin’ your so damn special
You… You son of a bitch
Copycat, charlatan
You beggar
Hey! I'm not messin’ around
Calling your shots all over town
Say! Say it out loud
Bang your head against the wall for nothin’
Stand! Stand your ground
Stand for what you believe in

Hold on to all those things about you
Hold on to the dream
Now I'm holding on
Hold on to all those things about you
Hold on to the dream
Now I'm holding on
Hold on, I can’t live without you
Hold on to the dream
