Head Held High - The Velvet Underground (地下丝绒)

Mama told me ever since I was seven

"Hold your head up high"

My parents told me ever since I was eleven

"Hold your head up high"

They said the answer was to become a dancer

Hold your head up high

Oh just like I figured they're always disfigured

With their head up high

Now I am older I'm getting so much bolder

With my head up high

Oh as I figured just like I figured

Since your head's up high baby

Oh now just like I figured you know they was disfigured

Hold your head high

You know they says the answer was to become a dancer

Hold your head up high boy

Ever since I was a baby on my mama's knee

Oh just to listen to what have everybody told me

But still the answer was to become a dancer

And hold your head up high
