lyrics

I seen him just the other day.
I tried to smile but had to say:
Hey man, just where’d it all go wrong?
Looking back it just don’t seem so long ago.

I can see you every Friday night.
Dressed neat and finished every fight you had.
Half lit on the D train going home.
Swore to yourself that you’d never feel so alone again
You gotta




Chorus:
Keep your head held high.
Keep the fire in your eyes.
Keep your head held high.
Don’t let the spirit die.

“Back to jail” the judge he said.
He just can’t seem to see what’s going on inside your head.
And now you can tell it’s quitting time.
Forward backwards backwards forwards every fucking time

(chorus)

I’ll show you how, you tell me when, it’ll all be OK then.
I’ll show you how, you tell me when, it’ll all be alright then.
