Hold It Down

Not much fucks to give back then There wasn't much to think about back when We walked halls like kings and queens armed with pens and not guns Cause guns are too violent Silent killer with less bloodshed An ink stain removes much easier than blood-red Well, so I've been told It's been a long long time since I washed my clothes I'm a good man sorry for the black heart I need some jump leads give me a restart If I could start my life again I'd have listened in school and found a better use for the pen Than to chew on and void into space I know we all need a little time to be misplaced But what a waste all the faces I graced I apologise, I apologise We try to hold it down Hold it down We try to hold it down Hold it down We try to hold it down Hold it down We try to hold it down Hold it down One shoelace done up and the other and untied Could have asked for help but I had too much pride With my finger firmly held on play I had three tapes to choose from, how random are they?
