Taking A Hold On Me

Watching TV just the other day,
Saw an advertisement, what can I say?
It showed a small baby, and some men in a war,
I thought to myself, «What's this fighting all for?»
And I felt sad,
Felt bad,
I’m not pleased,
There’s no need,
Taking a hold on me,
Knew it just had to be,
Never knew how it was,
Knew it was just because.
I spoke to some fellows here, early last night,
One of those guys, he prepared for a fight,
He couldn’t agree to the things that I said,
Am I speaking so free? He thought I should have been dead.
And I felt sad,
Felt bad,
I’m not pleased,
There’s no need,
Taking a hold on me,
Knew it was just to be,
Never knew how it was,
Knew it was just because.
In my hotel room, a bible I saw,
and what’s more,
no more
So why not be like him, don’t read all those
I feel sad,
Feels bad,
Not pleased,
There’s no need,
Taking a hold on me,
Knew it just had to be,
Never knew how it was,
Knew it was just because.
Taking a hold on me,
Taking a hold on me,
Taking a hold on me,
Taking a hold on me,
Taking a hold on me,
Taking a hold on me.
