They'll Take Everything You Have
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.
When you're lyin' face down on the ground
And nobody cares to notice
They only stop to tell you that you're losing control
And when they walk off looking at their phones
'Cause we're livin' in a major time
It's hard to know just what they mean by losing control
And when all is said and done
They'll take everything you have
And when all your time is gone
They'll take everything you have
They'll take everything you have
Who can live happily?
With common sense so broken
With so many scrambling
Second job, two in the morning
Why is this happening? Why won’t they stop all this?
I don't wanna hear them saying: "Amen, that's just the way it is."
When you look back after all things go
In 2016, we fell off the globe
Don't wanna see nothing, I can't see your face no more
No, we're just ghosts
They'll take everything you have
And when all is said and done
They'll take everything you have
And when all your time is gone
They'll take everything you have
They'll take everything you have
And with all your decency
And all compassion and care
They'll take everything you have
Everything you have
If you hold on to something
They can't take to pay your debt
They'll destroy that when you're dead
Leave no trace you even lived
Erase everything you've been
And everything that you shared
And all the love you gave
They'll take everything you have
