Hold Your Fire

(album: Jack The Toad - 1973)

I gotta find me another place
Too many people in this Human Race
Nobody cares about his fellow man
I want to get away find a new plan
Nobody tries in this neighborhood
To be somebody that is understood
It is just a game that you gotta play
You sit around and dream your whole life away

Talk to me for a while
Can't you see that were all trying
You may think I'm a fool
But these days it is so hard to smile
Don't shoot me down
Hold your fire

Drive myself to an early grave
Hard work and worry for each dime I save
Who's to blame for the state I'm in
I play my cards but somehow I can't win

Talk to me for a while
Can't you see that were all trying
You may think I'm a fool
But these days it is so hard to smile
Don't shoot me down
Hold your fire
Hold your fire

Talk to me for a while
Can't you see, baby that were all trying
You may think I'm a fool
But these days it is so hard to smile
Don't shoot me down
Hold your fire
Hold your fire
Hold your fire
Hold your fire
