Hold My Tongue

Sheppard

I’m hoping somebody’s gonna hold my tongue. 
Oh yes I’m hoping somebody’s gonna hide my gun. 
I’m hoping cause I don’t wanna die this young 
Oh yes I’m hoping I’m gone when the man comes along. 

I’m hoping somebody's gonna hold my tongue. 
But I’ve been taking his trouble for far too long. 
Don’t be afraid we’re gonna right his wrongs. 
And when the shit hits the fan he’s gonna start to run. 

If you wanna be part of a better restart (Ohhhhhh Ohhhh) 
I can see a crack in the back of his weak heart. (Ohhhh Ohhhh) 
We could turn it upside down with all the lies and disguises buried underground. 
Oh… You’ll never hold me down… 

We’re all wrapped up in a web of lies 
Spun like a mummy but they missed our eyes 
They’re waiting in the middle of their own demise 
But if we’re marching together we can break inside 

Even distant stars align 
And I’ve seen the rain erode rock in time. 
Even baby birds must fly in time. 

I’m hoping somebody’s gonna hold my tongue 
But a screaming protester can’t be wrong. 
I know that somebody’s gonna get it done. 
Yes I’m hoping the megaphone man comes along.
