Hold the Line Lyrics by Tom Morello

The Atlas Underground Fire

2021

[Verse 1]
Nobody said it would be easy
Nobody said that it would all be fine
But to get where we're going
Brother, you've gotta hold the line
It ain't a matter of "if"
Nah, it's just a matter of time
But to get where we're going
Sister, gotta hold the line

[Pre-Chorus]
You gotta stay steadfast, tread lightly
'Cause they're looking for a reason to knock you down
But you can't ask too politely
In the trenches, you gotta get loud

[Chorus]
Hold the line (Woah)
Hold the line, uh
Don't pay 'em no mind
Oh, hold the line

[Verse 2]
Nobody said it happens overnight
But if you're looking for a sign
Remember everybody that stood up before you
Oh, they hold the line
They wanna tell you "You're already free"
Put these chains on and rob you blind
When they co-op the movement
Don't trip, just hold the line, hold the line

[Chorus]
Hold the line (Woah)
Hold the line, uh
Don't pay 'em no mind
Oh, hold the line

[Bridge]
You gotta stay steadfast, tread lightly
'Cause they're looking for a reason to knock you down
But you can't ask too politely
In the trenches, you gotta get loud

[Pre-Chorus]
You gotta stay steadfast, tread lightly
'Cause they're looking for a reason to knock you down
But you can't ask too politely
In the trenches, you gotta get loud

[Chorus]
Hold the line (Woah)
Hold the line, uh
Don't pay 'em no mind
Oh, hold the line
