Lyrics

We been broken down
on the lowest turn
and been on the bottom line
sure ain't no fun
but if we should be evicted from our homes
we'll just move somewhere else
and still carry on
Hold on, Hold on, Hold on

The only way is up, baby
For you and me now
The only way is up, baby
For you and me

Hold on, Hold on, Hold on
The only way is up
