M.I.A. - Keep It Together

Keep, keep it together
Keep people together forever and ever

I got brothers, I got some sisters too
Stuck in the middle tell you what I`m gonna do
Gonna get out of here, I`m gonna leave this place
So I can forget every single hungry face
I`m tired of sharing all the hand me downs
To get attention I must always be the clown
I wanna be different, I wanna be on my own
But Daddy said listen, you will always have a home

Chorus:

Keep it together in the family
They`re a reminder of your history
Brothers and sisters they hold the key
To your heart and your soul
Don`t forget that your family is gold

I hit the big time but I still get the blues
Everyone`s a stranger, city life can get to you
People can be so cold, never want to turn your back
Just givin` to get something
Always wanting something back
When I get lonely and I need to be
Loved for who I am, not what they want to see
Brothers and sisters, they`ve always been there for me
We have a connection, home is where the heart should be

(chorus)

Intermediate:

When I look back on all the misery
And all the heartache that they brought to me
I wouldn`t change it for another chance
`Cause blood is thicker than any other circumstance

When I get lonely and I need to be
Loved for who I am, not what they want to see
Brothers and sisters, they`ve always been there for me
We have a connection, home is where the heart should be

(intermediate)
(chorus)

Keep, keep it together
Keep people together forever and ever
(repeat and fade)
