Takin' It Back 歌詞
When they found you you were driven and hungry
You were playing for your life then
You were living for the chance to be heard
What they promised what they offered
Was more than you'd ever hoped for
To walk away ya' know that would've 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 wasn't what you had in mind
Tell me you're taking it back
So they might as well get used to the idea
You're taking it back
Those cooperating days are over
You got no one to blame but yourself
So don't 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
Tell me you're taking it back
So they might as well get used to the idea
You're taking it back
Those cooperating days are over
You got no one to blame but yourself
So don't put it on nobody else
Put it behind you start over today
Oh they'll argue what they gave you
Was exactly what you wanted
And just to be fair you know that some of it's true
That's why you gotta be careful 'bout your wishes
Take your time and think me over
Sometimes those wishes just might come true
Tell me you're taking it back
So they might as well get used to the idea
You're taking it back
Those cooperating days are over
Tell me you've had enough
And if they don't like it it's tough
You're taking it back
Those cooperating days are over
You're taking it back
Tell me you're taking it back
