Can't Take It

From nine to five I'm occupied
I'm tied to the factory floor
Running like clockwork
Counting out time
In blood, sweat and tears
I'm holding the line

Can't run away
It's just a waste of time
Can't run away
Freedom is so hard to find

One for all and all for one
The trade-union leader's pointing his gun
He's asking for money to a campaign he'll raise
But the gunsmoke he's making
Won't kill more than flies

I can't take it anymore
I can't take it, no
I can't take it anymore
I can't take it, take it no more

I was young and blue
When I first met sue
She gave me a son when I was twentyone
Now time has changed the woman I had
Into a love-taking wife
In an awful disguise

Can't run away
It's just a waste of my time
Can't run away
Freedom is so hard to find

I can't take it anymore
I can't take it, no
I can't take it anymore
I can't take it, take it no more

I can't take it anymore
I can't take it, no
I can't take it anymore
I can't take it, no

I can't take it anymore
I can't take it, no
I can't take it anymore
I can't take it, take it no more
