The Velvet Underground - head held high

부모님은 어린 시절부터 나에게 당당하게 살아가고 춤추는 것이 답이라고 가르쳤다
나는 나이가 들면서 더 자신감 있게 변해가지만, 그들의 기대는 항상 다소 비현실적이라는 사실을 알게 된다
결국, 겉으로 보이는 것과 현실은 다를 수 있음을 인지한다

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
And yes I did
But still the answer was to become a dancer
And hold your head up high
But, just like I figured they're always disfigured
They hold their heads up high
Watch out
