(Guitar) (full band)x4
[Verse 1]
AGAG
I saw innocent kids turn cruel, In the playground at school
AGAG
Poor Claudius played the fool, Survival is cool
AG
One for the space to prowl as you please
AG
Two for the pulpit down on your knees
AGAG
We've hanged our hearts to shame And no one's to blame
[Chorus 1]
CAmFGFF/GCAm
Hey, everything was clearer than today
FGFF/GCAm
Oh, you have to hold on to your childhood
FGFF/GCAmF
O-o-open your eyes or stay as you are my friend
FGFF/GAGAG
You have to hang on, hang on, Hang on
[Verse 2]
AGAG
My life is a Milbury's home, On Hereford Way
AGAG
My life is a Barclays' loan now, And a mortgage to pay
AG
Let's drink to freedom and family ties
AG
Here's to the bags that are under my eyes
AGAG
We've opened our eyes to pride, With nothing inside
[Chorus 2]
CAmFGFF/GCAm
Hey, everything was clearer than today
FGFF/GCAmF
Oh, you have to hold on to your childhood
GFF/GCAmF
Open your eyes or stay as you are my friend
GFF/GAG
You have to hold on, hold on, hold on!
