Graham Parker & The Shot - Take Everything lyrics

Take every, take every, take everything Take every, take every, take everything Don't tell me that you're above it, you might as well learn to love it It's just a natural obsession, keep your mouth full The sky is thick with the fuse wire You think it's safe in your room Hoping the very next boom won't be the big one Take everything you can and run, that's the way it's done What's on your shoulders must weigh a ton, that's for having fun Shoot all of those bullets out of that gun, now before they explode inside you Come home with a pack of dioxin, we need brand names on our toxins For people who's lives are boxed in, just like ours are You don't have to shoot your mouth off, but baby, please don't cough You don't have to sell your soul just to admit it Take everything you can and run, that's the way it's done Don't think of this world baby it's gone, that's for having fun You might not be here when the sun, gets pulled out of the sky above you Take every, take every, take everything Take every, take every, take everything Don't tell me that you're above it, you might as well learn to love it It's just a natural obsession, keep your mouth full Take everything you can and run, that's the way it's done What's on your shoulders must weigh a ton, and blots out the sun Shoot all of those bullets out of that gun now before they explode inside you Take every, take every, take everything Take every, take every, take everything (3 times)
