When they you, you were driven and hungry You were playin' for your then You livin' for the chance to be heard
What they promised, what offered Was more than ever hoped for To walk away, ya' know that been absurd
And about absurdity, it was madness It was everything in It was too much, too and too little time
It was faceless people in and ties Who thought of you when made love to their wives Somehow, it wasn't you had in mind
Tell 'em takin' it back So might as well get used to the idea You're takin' it Those cooperating days are
You got no one to blame but So don't put it on nobody Put it behind you, start over,
There were and photos And televised award And covers of
There was and platinum And everyone was You were coming at the seems
There jerk offs Too numerous to When shared the dream
But when it time To share the They were conveniently to be seen
Tell 'em takin' it back So they might as well get to the idea 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
Oh, they'll argue they gave you Was exactly you wanted And just to be fair, you know some of it's true
That's why ya' gotta be careful, your wishes Take time and think 'em over Sometimes those wishes just might come
Tell 'em takin' it back So they might as well get used to the takin' it back Those days are over
Tell 'em you've had And if they don't it, it's tough takin' it back Those cooperating days are
You're it back Tell 'em you're it back
