To share your life"s work is your only reward,
You live by the pen and die by the sword,
Struggling to breathe as I fall to the floor and I just can"t take no more.
I can"t get no money for the music I play,
I can"t get no respect for the things that I say,
I"m building cob webs just to blow them away and I just can"t take no more.
When I was youth this was never the plan,
Thought that things would turn out better once I grew into a man,
Now I"m crawling in the dirt because I"m too afraid to stand and I just can"t take no more.
They say the struggle for power will turn your heart sour every hour of the days,
If you just can"t be there inevitably you will crumble and blow away...
Alone, oh yeah.
Oh lord, oh yeah.
"Cause there aint no time for danger and there aint no time for love,
When we met we both were strangers but I guess once push comes to shove,
I don"t wanna go back to a world,
I don"t wanna go back to a world,
I don"t wanna go back to a world without you...
We spend these days living life on the road,
We take what we can get and try to do what we"re told,
There"s a glimmer in the distance but it"s never paved in gold and we can"t take no more...
There"s no guarantees for this music we play,
We don"t want to dissect everything that we say,
No we don"t believe in Jah but we we"re still writing dub reggae and we just can"t take no more...
