Been pounded by the powers that be  Stripped of everything that is me  Lookin' back I'm being chased by my ignorance  And up ahead there ain't nothing but a fence  Right now I'm hanging on  To my friends and the ones I love  Time's still wasting on  With pain below and above  Been told that Jesus is the way to see  Go out and join a religious ministry   Well you can lick my fuckin' rod  â€˜'cause I believe in a merciful God  Right now I'm hanging on   To my friends and the ones I love  Time's still wasting on  With pain below and above  I know when it's my time to live  You see I only got one life to live  And there's only so much that I have to give  Future's not as dark as it seems  If you just hold onto your dreams  Right now I'm hanging on   To my friends and the ones I love  Time's still wasting on  With pain below and above
