lyrics

Walk out that door and the world will shed a tear
For the only one I know who can save us from the fear
They stab you in the back and stone you on the ground
You're what the world is waiting for don't let them hold you down.

Hold me down no don't hold me down
Hold me down no don't hold me down

The people stand with you to fight with tooth and claw
For solidarity and equality for all
Set the people free from the fool who wears the crown
Help me off my knees, please don't hold me down

Hold me down, no don't hold me down
Hold me down, no don't hold me down

Stay strong my friend your vision feeds us all
Battle to the end, put them up against the wall
When the day is done and the treacherous leave town
We'll raise a glass to all we won don't let them hold me down

Hold me down, no don't hold me down
Hold me down, no don't hold me down

Now we're running yeah
