Lyrics
Take Everything
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 to 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
Instrumental section
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.
