When they found you, you driven and hungry You were playin' for your life You were for the chance to be heard
What they promised, what they Was more than you'd hoped for To walk away, ya' know that would've been
And talk absurdity, it was madness It was everything in It was too much, too many and too little
It was faceless people in and ties Who thought of you when they made love to wives Somehow, it wasn't you had in mind
'em you're 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 but yourself So don't put it on nobody Put it behind you, over, today
There were and photos And televised shows And covers of
There was gold and And everyone was You coming apart at the seems
There were jerk Too numerous to When everybody the dream
But when it came To share the were conveniently nowhere to be seen
Tell 'em you're it back So they might as get used to the idea You're it back Those cooperating are over
You got no one to but yourself So put it on nobody else Put it behind you, start over,
Oh, they'll argue what gave you Was exactly what you And just to be fair, you know that of it's true
That's why ya' gotta be careful, 'bout wishes Take your time and 'em over Sometimes wishes just might come true
'em you're takin' it back So they might as well get to the idea takin' it back Those days are over
Tell 'em had enough And if they like it, it's tough You're takin' it Those days are over
You're it back 'em you're takin' it back
