Livin' On A Prayer (epoch Failure Version) Lyrics - Singles - Epoch Failure

Once upon a time 

Right here, right now... 

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 

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 

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... 

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) 

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 damn 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!" 

You gotta hold on, ready or not 

You live for the fight when it's all that you've got... 

(CHORUS)
