Verse 1
Minneapolis is under siege
No tanks yet, but the day is still young
All is calm, the streets look calm
Everybody’s trying to get along
Verse 2
Windows glow like nothing’s wrong
News keeps rolling without sound
Everyone’s watching everyone
Waiting for the other shoe to come down
Chorus
Hold the line, don’t say much
Keep your hands where they can see
Hold the line, don’t make a sound
This is how a city breathes
Verse 3
Buses run their usual routes
Shops unlock, then lock again
Every joke’s been measured twice
Every smile’s a matter of when
Chorus
Hold the line, don’t say much
Eyes ahead, hearts discreet
Hold the line, don’t look back
This is how a city speaks
Bridge
Nobody says what they mean
Nobody asks too much
Hands stay open, voices low
Everybody’s learned the touch
Chorus (half-time, quieter)
Hold the line, stay polite
Don’t be first, don’t be last
Hold the line, count the hours
Let the moment pass
Outro
Minneapolis is under siege
All is calm, the streets look calm
No tanks yet…
Everybody’s trying to get along
