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 comin
