Napalm Death - Take The Strain lyrics

rate me

Take the strain! Can you take it?

Take the strain! Or even take it?

Take the strain! Aren't we lucky

Take the strain! to be breathing?

Take the strain!

Are you the men in the next bed

without the tubes, without the life support?

Maybe the man whose pockets weigh you down.

Take the strain! Do you wear strife

Take the strain! like a clown?

Take the strain! or accumulate

Take the strain! with a frown?

Take the strain!

Are you the animal

that escapes the snares and traps?

Bearing no quarry scars, and the hunter's crown.

We were taught to follow leaders- follow leaders!

never to challenge the singular pack.

The goals they set slip the grasp- slip your grasp!

chasing tails without the basic facts.

Choose full pain, violate, make the grade.

taut wires fray, electro-brain, take the strain!

We were taught to follow leaders- follow leaders!

never to challenge the singular pack.

The goals they set slip the grasp- slip your grasp!

chasing tails without the basic facts.
