When the pressure’s high and the erg, the erg is yours alone,
when you' think you've had enough of this test, well hang on.
Don't let yourself go, everybody dies
and every ergo hurts sometimes.
Sometimes every stroke is wrong.
Now it's time to pull along.
When your piece is done alone, (hold on, hold on)
if you feel like going slow, (hold on)
when you think you've had too much of this test, well hang on.
Every ergo hurts.
Just listen to your coach
Every ergo hurts.
Don't slow your hands. Oh, no.
Don't slow your hands.
If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone
If you're on your own on this erg
and every stroke seems so long,
when you think you've had too much of this test to hang on.
Well, every ergo hurts sometimes, everybody dies,
And every ergo hurts sometimes.
And every ergo hurts sometimes.
So, hold on, hold on.
Hold on, hold on.
Hold on, hold on.
Hold on, hold on.
(repeat fade)
(Every ergo hurts. You are not alone.)
