Just leave me with the pride
that I worked for
now they've taken the reason away
just leave me with the pride
that I worked for
today
build on rock, or build on sand,
they're never gonna lend a hand
so nothing grows or nothing stands
I can't take any more
I can't take any more
there's not a lot of space for me
but I've still got my dignity
I've got my price
don't say I'm free
I can't take anymore
I can't take anymore
but I'm hungry
I could eat anything
but I'm hungry
oh, let's dance, oh, let's swing
and all that I hear are the words that she sings
now they've taken it all
now they've taken it all
I'd rather take this cure for life
than make myself a sacrifice
if living is to pay the price
I can't take anymore
I can't take anymore
it takes a while to understand
when your eyes are full of sand
