Lyrics

Hold your head up high
Cuz tomorrow you may die
Cuz no one's safe around here
No one's safe around here
Stand your ground
Til you're the last one in town

Someone that you trust turned out to be a tricker
Smoking cigarettes, getting stoned on liquor
Getting really dizzy, only getting sicker
Small problems now only seem bigger
America's a safe place
If you're gonna leave it
And the rhetoric is there
If you're gonna read it
And the hollow masses
The machines defeated
And the rich look down to arrive on the bleeding

Hold your head up high
Cuz tomorrow you may die
Cuz no one's safe around here
No one's safe around here
Stand your ground
Til you're the last one in town

Hardly enough
It gets tough when you're running
So you bust out the homeless
When they start coming
In la, broadway, it's wicked when they're watching
And your backup and your backup and your backup ain't working
There's no food, so you're spurred into action
Set up and go to no satisfaction
Ice and snow is the city passion
When you walk in the shadows, girl, there's no protection

Hold your head up high
Cuz tomorrow you may die
Cuz there's no one safe around here
No one's safe around here
Stand your ground
Til you're the last one in town

[Lars talking:]
Ok, well
This is the city of los angeles
And it never sleeps
It may look like it
But it doesn't
It lives and breathes nocturnally
So when you've got no place to sleep at night
And you're all huddled up
And you're cold
Well, this song goes out to the city's forgotten
Hey, tim, take us on home...

Underlying reason, well she can't keep it going
In the middle of the night
They found her frozen
And the wal-mart sign
Keeps on glowing
And the winds of change keep on blowing

Hold your head up high
Cuz tomorrow you may die
Cuz no one's safe around here
No one's safe around here
Stand your ground
Til you're the last one in town
