Yeah didn't get the votes this time
Yeah didn't make the mayor resign

Oo-ooo but we keep on trying
Oo-ooo but we keep on trying

Yeah didn't get equality
Yeah didn't take the bourgeoisie

Oo-ooo but we keep on trying
Oo-ooo but we keep on trying

So what if the plans didn't go to plan
So what if we didn't stick it to the man

Oo-ooo cause we keep on trying
Oo-ooo cause we keep on trying

But it's so tough
When living's against you
Oh and it's just
One more thing to get through
Honey I can't hold on much longer
Honey I can hold on much longer now

Keeping on, keeping on
Keeping on, keeping on
Keeping on, keeping on
Keeping on, keeping on
Keeping on, keeping on
Keeping on, keeping on

Yeah didn't take the county hall
Yeah didn't get it near at all

Oo-ooo but we keep on trying
Oo-ooo but we keep on trying

So what if the beats couldn't make it work
So what if the hippies only made it worse

Oo-ooo cause we keep on trying
Oo-ooo cause we keep on trying

Oo-ooo but we keep on trying
Oo-ooo but we keep on trying

Oo-ooo but we keep on trying
Oo-ooo but we keep on trying
