  • 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 Writer/s: Carrie Brownstein, Corin Tucker
