In love and war there's poetry and pain
And you can hate it and need it all the same
They can lie and they can lock you in the dark
'Cause you're young and you're broke but kid you got heart

There's writing on the walls but they can't read it
There's writing on the walls but they can't read it
There's writing on the walls but they can't read it
There's writing on the walls but they can't read it

Hold up your chin
Hold up your chin
Don't let them win
Yeah you've gotta hold
Up your chin

I was taught to think that ignorance is bliss
I [?] on the things that others missed
And my hiding heart was told to hold it in
Said [?] 'cause it's only skin

There's writing on the walls but they can't read it
There's writing on the walls but they can't read it
There's writing on the walls but they can't read it
There's writing on the walls but they can't read it

Hold up your chin
Hold up your chin
Don't let them win
Yeah you've gotta hold
Up your chin

They won't hang us dry
With our head in our hands
They won't hang us dry
With our head in our hands

Hold up your chin
Hold up your chin
Don't let them win
Yeah you've gotta hold...

Hold up your chin
Hold up your chin
Don't let them win
Yeah you've gotta hold
Up your chin
