Hang On Fred Songtext
von Barry Mann

The morning breaks like thunder and everybody′s scared
Everything's gone crazy and everybody′s mad
All the shrinks are pushing couches
And the pushers, they're still out there pushing pills
Gonna cure all our ills
If the Jesus freaks don't get you
Then I bet you that the Hare Krishnas will
They got a quota to fill

So hang on, Fred
I know you′re wishing you′d have stayed in bed
Hang on, Fred
I know it don't look good, but we ain′t dead yet
So hang on, Fred
You're a better man than me
If you′re keeping yourself together
And keeping your sanity


The night time comes down heavy and everybody hides
Humanity's a-crumbling while we′re all taking sides
There's a left wing and a right wing
A right a left and a left a right
Gonna show us the light
Seems no one's got the answers
But everybody and his brother thinks they might
Now who the hell are you fighting?

So hang on, Fred
I know you′re wishing you′d have stayed in bed
Hang on, Fred
I know it don't look good, but we ain′t dead yet
So hang on, Fred
You're a better man than me
If you′re keeping yourself together
And keeping your sanity

It ain't easy, boy

Hang on, Fred
I know you′re wishing you'd have stayed in bed
Hang on, Fred
I know it don't look good, but we ain′t dead yet
So hang on, Fred
You′re a better man than me
If you're keeping yourself together
And keeping your sanity

It′s a weird world
