Lyrics and translation
Original
On my,
I will pray to the paper But the people on the way They're just a distant memory
On my, throw the baby with the water And anoint your sons and daughters With some ancient history
Holding on to something
Letting go of nothing
Holding on to something to believe in Something to believe in Something to believe in, oh
It's a long line
And it bleeds into the pavement Sixty-something worked to save them From this race in misery So ask why Or you will never see the truth The many ways in which it bruised All of the people you knew
Holding on to something
Letting go of nothing
Holding on to something to believe in Something to believe in Something to believe in, oh
Lost my motivation Wasn't much for chasing the cross
Boycott heaven 'cause there's gotta be Somewhere better far from the sun
Holy roller, please The damage to your knees Is something that cannot be undone
So boycott heaven 'cause they never, ever gave a fuck about us Holding on to nothing
Letting go of something
Holding on with nothing to believe in Something to believe in Something to believe in Nothing to believe in Something to believe in
Something to believe in Something to believe in So let it go, mm
Let it go, mm
Let it go, mm
Let it go, mm
Let it go, mm Let it go, mm
Let it go, mm Gotta let it go, mm
