Pat Benatar - Takin it back

Tekst :

When they found you, you were driven and hungry
You were playin for your life then
You were livin for the chance to be heard
What they promised, what they offered
Was more than you d ever hoped for
To walk away, ya know that would ve been absurd
And talk about absurdity, it was madness
It was everything in excess
It was too much, too many, and too little time
It was faceless people in jackets and ties
Who thought of you when they made love to their wives
Somehow, it wasn t what you had in mind

Chorus:

Tell `em you re Takin It Back
So they might as well get used to the idea
You re Takin It Back, those cooperation days are over
You got no one to blame but yourself
So don t put it on nobody else
Put it behind you, start over, today

There were parties and photos and televised award shows
And covers of magazines
There was gold and platinum and everyone was smiling
You were coming apart at the seems
There were jerk offs too numerous to mention
When everybody shared the dream
But when it came time to share the nightmare
They were conveniently nowhere to be seen

(Chorus)

Oh they ll argue what they gave you was exactly what you wanted
And just to be fair, ya know that some of it s true
That s why ya gotta be careful, `bout your wishes
Take your time and think `em over
Sometimes those wishes just might come true

Tell `em you re Takin It Back
So they might as well get used to the idea
You re Takin It Back, those cooperation days are over
Tell `em you ve had enough, and if they don t like it it s tough
You re Takin It Back, those cooperation days are over
You re Takin It Back
Tell `em you re Takin It Back

    Gdzie dzisiaj jesteś

    Szukam ciągle w pamięci tych dni
    wracam często do tamtych chwil
    kiedy mogłem być przy Tobie śnić
    dziś mam tylko ostatni Twój list
    napisałaś, że powody masz
    chociaż boli musisz postąpić tak
    odpisuję Ci każdego dnia
    i każdego dnia znów w skrzynce mam.

    Ref:
    Gdzie dzisiaj jesteś no gdzie
    dlaczego nie piszesz
    przecież mówiłaś że nikt ja tylko się liczę
    czym te...

    Bulisz

    Panie i panowie,
    Nowator prezentuje nowy singiel
    Ashley właśnie tak!

    To takie proste jest.
    Wiem dobrze czego chcesz.
    Mogę mieć każdą rzecz.
    Na wszystko zgadzasz się.
    Jego kartą kredytową płacę już przez cały rok.
    Zakupy w Nowym Jorku,
    W końcu on płaci za lot.
    Nie mam dość,
    Zgadnij co dostane od niego jutro,
    Nową furę zamiast
    Skóry będzie w niej białe futro.
    Nie przestawaj,
    Co...

    Only the strong survive

    (CL Smooth verse)
    (yeah, DJ Krush in the house, the car-mel kingpin
    CL Smooth and only the strong survive)
    actual facts
    the ghetto reacts to warfare
    real bullets miss you by your hair
    survival of the fittest
    hell for the three time losers...

    Baby kangaroos

    Naughty boy
    nasty girl
    they are doing very fine

    they re so snug
    in their crap
    they can have no better time

    misbehaving all the way
    permanently having fun
    cherishing no future plans
    getting over what s bygone

    Werewolf

    Inescapable darkness draws us in
    It is here the unspeakable
    Murder will be consummated

    Nothing is ever quite here
    Nothing ever changes

    But the end is near
    And we will have reached our destination
    Turn our gaze away
    Choose nothingness
    Gates closed behind us
    Boundless the deep below us

    Nothing is ever quiet here
    Nothing ever changes
    ...
