lyrics

Hold That Line

Look outside, the sky’s declining
shut that door and draw the blinds and
find that vial of Vicodin and
get your head up, hold that line
the battery’s dead, don't bother trying
pass me down that jug of lye I'm
tired and wired all the time and
get your head up, hold that line.

Look online, there's cities frying
everything we've planted’s dying
there’s a god but he ain’t benign and
get your head up hold that line
I'm coming kid, throw me a bone
no suicides in a combat zone
don't move a thing ‘til I get home and
get your head up, hold that line

Hold that line – it'll all be fine
you'll be alright kid, calm down, breathe in
even though this tide is rising
even though the vice is tightening
bite until your knuckles whiten
get your head up, hold that line.

Fix your hair, straighten your tie and
take this shot of iodine and
pass me on that flask of wine and
get your head up, hold that line,
listen kid this compact’s binding
now is not the time for crying
to love your life is not a crime and
get your head up, hold that line.

Hold that line – it'll all be fine
you'll be alright kid, calm down, breathe in
even though this tide is rising
even though the vice is tightening
bite until your knuckles whiten
get your head up, hold that line.
