The streets are all empty the network's deveined Buildings walled up electricity drained Shots in the square where they mowed them all down The river runs red from the center of town I worked for my daddy he worked for his paw Till they came from the city and they took what they saw We rented back land and we worked what we could But they built and the stripped it 'till it wasn't no good And I know I yes I know I Gotta hold on hold on for your love Out in the woods my old truck is on fire Burning the last drops of my enormous desire Men eating men and there's no time for crying For I'm tired of the blood and I'm sick of the dying And I know I yes I know I Gotta hold on hold on for your love Burn down the cabin and put out the stars Tear up the fields and leave everything scarred I've been here before but I don't know this place I've been here with you but I can't see your face And I know I yes I know I Gotta hold on hold on for your love I Gotta hold on hold on for your love love
