Lyrics

TAKE IT

It’s just not fair, no one promised that it would be
And if they did, it vanished in thin air
It would be nice If there was evidence of karma
It would be cool If we all got what we deserve

Bad things happen to good people
Standing in the pouring rain, they still get burned
Who knows why?
Sometimes I just cannot take it

Fortune smiles in ways unequal
Out of sync with what is earned, or lessons learned
We don’t cry.
Sometimes you just have to fake it

There is no answer in the fire
All our dreams and hearts desires go up in smoke
Before our very eyes.
Sometimes you just have to take it

So we pray
To the arbiter of sorrow for a promise of tomorrow
The aspergillum’s filled with tears, in our hands a host of fear
We’re just holding on
Hanging from the steeple, yelling “power to the people!”
Sometimes you just have to take it
Sometimes you just have to take it

Take the opportunity, take two they’re very small
Take some time for me, take me to the mall
Take it to the limit, take a chance to win it
Take me your leader, take me to the theatre
Take away the hurters, take away the haters
Take away the greedy, give some to the needy
Take away the pain

Sometimes you just have to take it
Sometimes you just have to take it
