When they found you, you were driven and You were playin' for your life You were for the chance to be heard
they promised, what they offered Was more than you'd hoped for To away, ya' know that would've been absurd
And about absurdity, it was madness It was everything in It was too much, too many and too little
It was people in jackets and ties Who thought of you when made love to their wives Somehow, it what you had in mind
Tell 'em you're it back So they might as well get used to the You're takin' it Those cooperating are over
You got no one to but yourself So don't put it on nobody Put it you, start over, today
There parties and photos And televised shows And covers of
was gold and platinum And everyone was You were coming apart at the
There were offs Too numerous to When everybody the dream
But when it came To share the They were conveniently to be seen
'em you're takin' it back So they might as well get to the idea You're takin' it Those days are over
You got no one to blame but So put it on nobody else Put it you, start over, today
Oh, argue what they gave you Was exactly you wanted And just to be fair, you know that some of it's
why ya' gotta be careful, 'bout your wishes Take your time and 'em over Sometimes those wishes might come true
'em you're takin' it back So might as well get used to the idea You're takin' it Those cooperating are over
Tell 'em had enough And if they don't like it, tough You're takin' it Those cooperating days are
You're it back Tell 'em takin' it back
