Take It Or Leave It

(album: Music For The Hard Of Thinking - 1982)

Well, it ain't no secret and it don't make a difference
I surrendered completely to the ignorance of a
Church I prostitute (take it or leave it)
I got no gratitude (take it or leave it)
That's my attitude (take it or leave it) for free

I'm burned by the numbness of a west-end avenue
I wallow and stumble though I'm getting over you
In a downtown skin-trap (take it or leave it)
I got no gratitude (take it or leave it)
That's my attitude (take it or leave it) that's me

I can't believe that I had it and threw it away for free
I can't believe that I had it and threw it away

(Take it or leave it, take it or leave it)
(Take it or leave it)

What am I to do when it all goes stale? (I don't know)
I don't know how this whole thing failed (I can see)
I can see our destiny wane
I can't believe that I had it and threw it away

So maybe I'm foolish, oh, I know I romanticize
But don't think me stupid because I'll just lie
To a dead-end glamorous (take it or leave it)
I got no gratitude (take it or leave it)
That's my attitude (take it or leave it) from me
That's my attitude (take it or leave it)
I got no gratitude (take it or leave it)
That's my attitude (take it or leave it) from me
