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. From the album "Tropico".
