The Hand You Hold Lyrics by Louise Distras

Dreams from the Factory Floor

2012

Advertising man hammers nails into my head
Crucifies these children before they're born and bred
And it seems that he's hungry
How good do we need to be to be taken seriously?
Hungry perfection
A restless detention
No faith no love
Dying for correction
Never let the hand you hold, hold you down
Who are you to say that we should look this way?
They don't understand that we won't follow their commands
Coz what we look like means more to you than what we say and what we do
Imagine, freedom, revolution
Imagine, freedom, revolution
Imagine, freedom, revolution
Imagine, freedom, revolution
Never let the hand you hold, hold you down
Never let the hand you hold, hold you down
Never let the hand you hold, hold you down
Never let the hand you hold, hold you down
Who are you to say that we should look this way?
They don't understand that we won't follow their commands
Coz what we look like means more to you than what we say and what we do
They don't understand that we won't follow their commands
Never let the hand you hold, hold you down
Never let the hand you hold, hold you down
Never let the hand you hold, hold you down
Never let the hand you hold, hold you down
