epoch failure – livin on a prayer lyrics

once upon a time
right here, right now…

verse 1
i been tommy, working on the dock
i’ve worn gina shoes, working ‘round the clock
you’ve been underpaid and overworked
i can see the blood and sweat stained your overshirt
and it ain’t nothin’ to laugh when pain’s something you feel
try to keep it concealed, ain’t time to reveal
but i know, when it’s too much, i don’t wanna do much
lost in transmission, i think i need a new clutch
holding on to my last, gotta give it my all
even when we can’t stand, we gotta give ‘em a crawl
gotta give ‘em a push, just push and keep pushin’
once i get my footing, my falls will be cushioned
‘til then hold on, hold on
gotta pray it goes right, even when it goes wrong
down on your luck, just re-up on your blessings
life’s a test, just keep up with the lessons

pre-chorus
we’ve gotta hold on to what we’ve got
it doesn’t make a difference if we make it or not
we’ve got each other and that’s a lot
for love, we’ll give it a shot…

(chorus)
oh woah, we’re half way there
oh woah, livin’ on a prayer
take my hand, we’ll make it i swear
oh woah, livin’ on a prayer
livin’ on, we livin’ on a prayer
livin’ on, we livin’ on a prayer

verse 2
six-string and the mic in hock
in my pockets only lint, but this life won’t stop
trying to run things, but i’m tired from the walk
they only running their mouth, i grow tired of the talk
opportunity ain’t come, it’s up to me to start knocking
praying for a break every time i gotta clock-in
trying to see the path, but it’s obstacles blocking
either over or around, i can’t afford to be stopping
i used to dream of running away
i had to look into the mirror and say, “nickey it’ll be ok”
put your blood sweat and tears, and be a doa
at least when you finally make it, it’ll be your way boy
‘til then hold on, hold on
gotta pray it goes right, even when it goes wrong
you only lose when you give up on yourself
you gotta fight the fight ‘til nothing is left…

pre-chorus
we’ve gotta hold on to what we’ve got
it doesn’t make a difference if we make it or not
we’ve got each other and that’s a lot
for love, we’ll give it a shot…

bridge
these hard times make soft money
shelves run bare, even lost honey
sitting in a dark place, even though it’s sunny
i can’t crack a smile, ain’t a d-mn thing funny
the situation gets real and life gets realer
build a new foundation, throw away your concealer
you ain’t gotta hide your scars, they tell your story
keep on climbing and claim your glory
to the top, always fighting for a spot
yell, “here i come ready or not
and i’m never letting go of what i got!”

final pre-chorus
you gotta hold on, ready or not
you live for the fight when it’s all that you’ve got…

(final chorus)
oh woah, we’re half way there
oh woah, livin’ on a prayer
take my hand, we’ll make it i swear
oh woah, livin’ on a prayer
livin’ on, we livin’ on a prayer
every day, every night we livin’ on a prayer
livin’ on, we livin’ on a prayer
keep livin’ and keep prayin’
livin’ on, we livin’ on a prayer
it’s all we got
livin’ on, we livin’ on a prayer
oh woah, we’re half way there
oh woah, livin’ on a prayer
straight to the top, we livin’ on a prayer
livin’ on, we livin’ on a prayer
oh woah, livin’ on a prayer
