Hanging On by a Thread (Don’t Give Up) Songtext
von Alice Cooper

Yeah, I know you′re struggling right now
We all are, in different ways
It's like a new world that we don′t even know
It's hard to sleep, even harder to dream

But look, you've got seven billion brothers and sisters
All in the same boat
So don′t panic
Life has a way of surviving and going on and on
We′re not fragile, and we sure don't break easy

You know it′s so hard to cope
When you're just hoping there′s hope

We're all hanging on by a thread
We′re all staring at the razor's edge
But we're not gonna step off the ledge, no


If it could hate, it would hate you
It′s a monster, a cold deadly phantom
It hides in the heart and brain, dreadful and merciless
It has no shape or form, it′s demonic and has no rules
It will confine you to a dark, lifeless room if you allow it
So, fight back, shine a light on it
And most of all
Don't give up

You know that it′s right
So we just gotta fight

Yeah, we're all hanging on by a thread
We′re all staring at the razor's edge
But we′re not gonna step off the ledge, no

We're all hanging on by a thread
We're all staring at the razor′s edge
But we′re not gonna step off the ledge, no

This is Alice Cooper in Detroit
Let's keep fighting, don′t give up
