All hands to the pump
Is the nation you love?
You were dressed in a flag
I won't be phased, so

Pretend that we aint over,
It's such a pity that we,
Pretend that we aint over
Is this city that you love?

Out of breath, out of cash
This is a note to self
Cast all logic aside
Lead with my heart now

Hold out a little longer
But can we really?
Can we hold out a little longer
Is this the city that you love?

Don't take it out on yourself
This is not ours to mend
I think I'll close my eyes and wait for the end (x3)

The streets aren't paved with gold
The streets are stained with blood
I think I'll close my eyes and wait for the end

Pretend that we aint over,
Is this city that you love? (repeat)
