When they found you, you driven and hungry You were playin' for life then You were livin' for the chance to be
What they promised, what offered Was more than you'd ever for To walk away, ya' know would've been absurd
And about absurdity, it was madness It was everything in It was too much, too many and too time
It was people in jackets and ties Who thought of you when made love to their wives Somehow, it wasn't you had in mind
Tell 'em you're it back So they might as well get used to the takin' it back Those days are over
You got no one to but yourself So don't put it on else Put it behind you, over, today
There were parties and And televised shows And covers of
There was gold and And everyone was You coming apart at the seems
There were offs Too to mention everybody shared the dream
But when it came To share the They were nowhere to be seen
'em you're takin' it back So they might as get used to the idea You're it back cooperating days are over
You got no one to but yourself So don't put it on else Put it you, start over, today
Oh, argue what they gave you Was what you wanted And to be fair, you know that some of it's true
That's why ya' gotta be careful, 'bout wishes Take your and think 'em over Sometimes those wishes just come true
Tell 'em you're takin' it So they might as well get to the idea You're takin' it Those cooperating are over
Tell 'em you've had And if they don't like it, it's You're takin' it Those cooperating are over
takin' it back Tell 'em you're it back
