Get All You Can Take

(album: Animalize - 1984)

I didn't know 'bout the modern ways of life
I didn't really care
I never gave a damn about the future
I never got my share
Somebody said, boy your time's a wasting
You're moving much too slow
So many things in life worth tasting
So much you oughta know – look out

Get down, fool around
If you got half a chance, you take it
Ooh yeah, stand your ground
You gotta bend the rules to make it
Hold tight, see the light
Think of all the dues you're paying
So true, I'm telling you
Wise up, can't you hear me saying

You gotta get all you can take
Sing along, gotta keep on humming
Stop waiting for your lucky break
Stop waiting, wasting time
What fucking difference does it make?
Ooh, gotta keep it coming
You gotta get all you can take
Don you know I'm gonna take what's mine

People looking, eyes wide open, tell me what you see
Bodies tired, minds 'a choking, you gotta set 'em free
Don't think about the race they're running
They'll never let you in
With all the rules, it's a race of fools
And you can never win – look out

Get down, fool around
Think of all the dues you're paying
Oh yeah, stand your ground
Wise up, can't you hear me saying

You gotta get all you can take
Sing along, gotta keep on humming
Stop waiting for your lucky break
Stop waiting, wasting time
What fucking difference does it make?
Ooh, gotta keep it coming
You gotta get all you can take

(Yeah you know what I'm talking about
Ah just take a look around you)

You gotta get all you can take
Sing along, gotta keep on humming
Stop waiting for your lucky break
Stop waiting, wasting time
What fucking difference does it make?
Ooh, gotta keep it coming
You gotta get all you can take
Don you know I'm gonna take what's mine
