Takin It Back — текст песни (Pat Benatar)





When they found you, you were driven and hungry

You were playin for your life then

You were livin for the chance to be heard

What they promised, what they offered

Was more than youd ever hoped for

To walk away, ya know that wouldve been absurd

And talk about absurdity, it was madness

It was everything in excess

It was too much, too many, and too little time

It was faceless people in jackets and ties

Who thought of you when they made love to their wives

Somehow, it wasnt what you had in mind



Chorus:



Tell `em youre takin it back

So they might as well get used to the idea

Youre takin it back, those cooperation days are over

You got no one to blame but yourself

So dont put it on nobody else

Put it behind you, start over, today



There were parties and photos and televised award shows

And covers of magazines

There was gold and platinum and everyone was smiling

You were coming apart at the seems

There were jerk offs too numerous to mention

When everybody shared the dream

But when it came time to share the nightmare

They were conveniently nowhere to be seen



(chorus)



Oh theyll argue what they gave you was exactly what you wanted

And just to be fair, ya know that some of its true

Thats why ya gotta be careful, `bout your wishes

Take your time and think `em over

Sometimes those wishes just might come true



Tell `em youre takin it back

So they might as well get used to the idea

Youre takin it back, those cooperation days are over

Tell `em youve had enough, and if they dont like it its tough

Youre takin it back, those cooperation days are over

Youre takin it back

Tell `em youre takin it back



From the album "tropico"
