Pat Benatar - Takin it back

Tekst :

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

    Hold me back

    Driving fast and ditching school, breaking all the precious rules.
    It s too hard, to make a living.
    I need a kick, I need a girl so badly I could scream.

    Flesh for fantasy

    There s a change in pace
    Of fantasy and taste
    Do you like good music?
    Do you like to dance? Oh yeah.
    Hangin out for a body shop at night
    Ain t it strange what we do to feel alright? Oh yeah.
    So...

    Fur immer

    Sein Kopf ist übafüllt mit hartn Reimen geprägt durch harte Zeitn
    höchstens seine Fraun kennen auch seine zarten Seiten
    die Gegna heissen Neid und Gier für ihn gibt es kein wir
    er ist alleine hier um auf Druck von Aussen mit Gegendruck zu reagiern

    Perpetual dancer

    Perpetual dancer
    lost in the streams
    of innocent violation
    and the time denotes only a chaos
    of certainty.
    perpetual dancer
    let me wreathe this braided flesh
    upon your head
    and love you in the mirror
    for time says that this can go on
    forever...
    perpetual dancer
    exclude me from your last dance
    for time knows nothing
    the illusion of certainty.
    perpetual dancer
    beautiful as the dark...
