Hold On — текст песни (Reed Lou)

There`s blacks with knives and whites with guns
fighting in Howard Beach
There`s no such thing as human rights
when you walk the N.Y. streets
A cop was shot in the head by a 10 year old kid named Buddah in
Central Park last week
The fathers are lined up by
the coffins by the Statue of Bigotry
You better hold on something`s happening here
You better hold on---meet you in Tompkins Square
The dopers sent a message to the cops last weekend
They shot him in the car where he sat
And Eleanor Bumpres and Michael Stewart must have appreciated that
There`s a rampaging rage rising up like a plague of bloody vials
washing up on the beach
It`ll take more than the Angels or Iron Mike Tyson
to heal this bloody breach
A junkie ran down a lady a pregnant dancer
she`ll never dance but the baby was saved
He shot up some China White and noddet out at the wheel
and he doesn`t even remember a thing
They shot that old lady
`cause they thought she was a witness
to a crime she didn`t even see
Whose home is the home of the brave by the Statue of Bigotry
You got a black .38 and a gravity knife
You still have to ride the train
There`s the smelly essence of N.Y. down there
but you ain`t no Bernard Goetz
There`s no Mafia lawyer
to fight in your corner
for that 15 minutes of fame
The have and the have nots are bleeding in the tub
That`s New York`s future not mine
Oh you better hold on---something`s happening here.
