Working at the 601 you're tryin' to get it done
  But Mr. Man keeps calling
  He won't let you have no fun
  The telephone keeps ringing
  Yeah it's ringing all the time
  And he won't stop until you drop
  Sometimes you feel you're losing your mind
    When you feel the world is coming down on you
  There's only one thing that you really should remember to do
  Keep holding on
  Keep holding on, yeah
  Better days are coming
  Just as this one's surely gone
  Keep holding on
  Keep holding on, yeah
  Things will be much better
  But you've got to keep holding on
    Everyone keeps talkin' talkin'
  So much all the time
  About things they don't know, man
  Yeah I swear it blows my mind
  How can you lend an open ear
  To such widely spread disease
  So polluted, executed
  With no thought
  And spoken with ease
    When you feel the words creep inside of you
  Just remember they mean nothing and you'll know what to do
  Keep holding on
  Keep holding on, yeah
  A better day is coming
  Just as this one's surely gone
  Keep holding on
  Keep holding on, yeah
  Things will be much better
  But you've got to keep holding on
    I know life can be hard
  And sometimes it brings you down
  Just remember when you feel this way
  You can make it if you try and you hold on one more day
  But you've got to be so strong
  And you've got to keep holdin' on
    People talkin' never stoppin'
  Tryin' to mess with you
  Keep holdin' on, Keep holdin' on
  You don't need to listen
  Baby make your own decision
  Keep holdin' on
  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
    Keep holdin' on
  Keep holdin' on
  A better day is coming
  Just as this one's surely gone
  Keep holdin' on
  Keep holding on, yeah
  We could come together if we all
  Keep holding on
