(chorus)
Hold on to what you've got,
hold on, hold on, hold on

(vs 1)
Take blood from your brother
take money from your mother
get cast out by your lover
and it's not so easy

to hold true
to your values
that make you
no, it's no so easy to

(chorus)

(vs 2)
I'm not good at winning
never had luck from the beginning
And the bottom doesn't seem so far away
as it did just yesterday

still I want to
try and hold true
to my values
but it's not so easy

(chorus)

take blood from your brother
take money from your mother
get cast out by your lover
and it's not so easy

To Hold on to what you've got
(chorus)
