Sleater-Kinney - The Center Won't Hold

I need something pretty
To help me ease my pain
I need something ugly
To put me in my place

I need something holy
Give me a little taste
I need something muddy
To cover up the stain

The center won't hold
The center won't hold
The center won't hold
The center won't hold
The center won't hold

I need a little money
So I got something to save
I need a quick injection
To get you out of my way

I need a real affliction
Gives me a reason to stay
I need a new reflection
Don't wanna see my face

The center won't hold
The center won't hold
The center won't hold
The center won't hold
The center won't hold

The center won't hold
The center won't hold
The center won't hold
The center won't hold
The center won't hold

(The center won't hold)
(The center won't hold)
(The center won't hold)
(The center won't hold)

The center won't hold
The center won't hold
The center won't hold
The center won't hold
The center won't hold
The center won't hold
The center won't hold
The center won't hold

The center won't hold
The center won't hold
The center won't hold
The center won't hold
The center won't hold
The center won't hold
The center won't hold
The center won't hold

The center won't hold
No, The center won't hold
The center won't hold
No, The center won't hold
The center won't hold
No, the center won't hold
The center won't hold
No, the center won't hold
