You Gotta Hold On
Wayne's notes from the album:
"This song began, I believe, as another attempt at writing a song pleading with a suicide bomber... Saying..."Hey! You got to hold on... that shit you're doing is too crazy. Don't you see?" But it didn't seem... well... serious enough... and it was so simple and annoying that we did not give it too much consideration. We had tried for about a week to make it something... But after a while we abandoned it. After about a year we looked at the song again. Steven changed some of the chords to be more sympathetic and we put in a crazy bassline. We all agreed it was much better... (but what is better?)"

When we will you see it
Man it's everywhere
When will you smell it
Man it's in the air
When will you know it
Only when you care
And with a lot of patience
We'll see a lot of changes
And the United Nations
Will see our love is only love
And there's nothing to be afraid of
You gotta hold on
You gotta hold on
You gotta hold, and it won't be long
When will you smell it
Man it's in your hair
When will you know it
Man we're already there
And with a lot of patience
They'll see our love is only love
And there's nothing to be afraid of
You gotta hold on
You gotta hold on
Man it's everywhere
When will you smell it
Man it's in the air
When will you know it
Only when you care
We'll see a lot of changes
And the United Nations
Will see our love is only love
And there's nothing to be afraid of
You gotta hold on
You gotta hold on
You gotta hold, and it won't be long
Man it's in your hair
When will you know it
Man we're already there
They'll see our love is only love
And there's nothing to be afraid of
You gotta hold on
