Grandson was shirtless with the words "Hold the Line" written on his body. The duo performed the song inside of a unique looking chamber filled with flashing lights.

Grandson also held up signs that paid homage to various organizations that represent nurses, mine workers, teachers and more that are on strike.

"Nobody said it would be easy/ Nobody said that it would all be fine/ But to get where we're going/ Brother, you got to hold the line," Grandson sang.

"Hold the Line" appears on Morello's new solo album titled The Atlas Underground Fire, which was released in October. The project also includes the song "Highway to Hell" featuring Bruce Springsteen and Eddie Vedder.
