Benatar Pat Tropico Takin' It Back 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'd 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 cooperatin' 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 While you were coming apart at the seams 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) (Solo) Oh they'll argue what they gave you was exactly what you wanted An' 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 cooperatin' 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 cooperatin' days are over You're takin' it back, tell 'em you're takin' it back...
