The 88 Lyrics
"Hold On"

Back when you were down and out
Up from your toes
And out of your mouth
Was that same old song
Someone mustʼve done you wrong again

Think about the things you did
Cigarettes, poems, and idiot kids
Theyʼre all famous now
But I hope you all learned how to fall

These are the happy days
These are the ones we made
Holy and on display

Hold on
Shine on
Roll on
And hold on

Run like the devil
For all that you lack
You canʼt steal what you already have

Loosen up that iron jaw
Fight to death born
Denying the law
Of that second hand
Now you see the writing and the wall

But these are the happy days
These are the ones we made
Holy and on display

Run like the devil
For all that you lack
You canʼt steal what you already have
