Just leave me with the pride That I worked for Now they've taken the reason away Just leave me with the pride That I worked for Today Build on rock, or build on sand, They're never gonna lend a hand So nothing grows or nothing stands I can't take any more I can't take any more There's not a lot of space for me But I've still got my dignity I've got my price Don't say I'm free I can't take anymore I can't take anymore But I'm hungry I could eat anything But I'm hungry Oh, let's dance, oh, let's swing And all that I hear are the words that she sings Now they've taken it all Now they've taken it all I'd rather take this cure for life Than make myself a sacrifice If living is to pay the price I can't take anymore I can't take anymore It takes a while to understand When your eyes are full of sand When only time is in your hands I can't take anymore I can't take anymore But I'm hungry I could eat anything But I'm hungry Oh, let's dance, oh, let's swing And all that I hear are the words that she sings Now they've taken it all Now they've taken it all Just leave me with the pride Taht I worked for Now they've taken the reason away Just leave me with the pride That I worked for Today
