Chorus: , (x2) , , ,
To share your life s work is your only reward
you live by the pen and you die by the sword
i m struggling to breathe as i fall through 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 cobwebs just to blow them away
and i just can t take no more
when i was a 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 scared to stand
and i just can t take no more
they say the struggle for power will turn your heart sour
every hour of your days
if you just can t be there inevitably you will crumble and blow away
alone, oh yeah
oh lord, oh yeah
cause there ain t no time for danger
and there ain t no time for love
when we met we both were strangers
well i guess once push comes to shove
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 as we re told
there s a glimmer in the distance but it s never paved in gold
and we just 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 re still writing dub reggae
and we just can t take no more
