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.
