All I'm Gonna Take

(album: Sign In Please - 1984)

Did you ever wonder
If you were gonna break
When you finally hear the power
You've had all you're gonna take

I know when I give in
There ain't nothing left to say
Something clicks inside me
And it's graduation day

Everybody learns (everybody learns)
The point of no return

My circuit braid is breaking
My sanity's at stake
I know I've taken all I'm gonna take
Frustrated bodies shaking
Feel like I'm gonna break
I know I've taken all I'm gonna take

Big boss man
In his collar and his tie
Thinks he's got the upper hand
When he turns us loose at night

It can make a man so desperate
When there ain't no money left
But a pistol's always welcome
Like American Express

Everybody learns (everybody learns)
The point of no return

My circuit braid is breaking
My sanity's at stake
I know I've taken all I'm gonna take
Frustrated bodies shaking
Feel like I'm gonna break
I know I've taken all I'm gonna take

My circuit braid is breaking
My sanity's at stake
I know I've taken all I'm gonna take
Frustrated bodies shaking
Feel like I'm gonna break
I know I've taken all I'm gonna take
I know I've taken all I'm gonna take
I know I've taken all I'm gonna take
