Graham Parker - 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 can't 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
Take every, take every, take everything
Take every, take every, take everything
Take every, take every, take everything
Take every, take every
