Had Enough Lyrics
I've had enough of bein' nice
I've had enough of right and wrong
I've had enough of tryin' to love my brother
I've had enough of bein' good
And doin' everything like I'm told I should
If you need a lover, you'd better find another
Life is for the living
Takers never giving
Suspicion takes the place of trust
My love is turning into lust
If you get on the wrong side of me you better run for cover
I've had enough of bein' trodden on
My passive days are gonna be long gone
If you slap one cheek, well, I ain't gonna turn the other
Life is for the living
Takers never giving
Fooling no one but ourselves
Good is dying
Here comes the end
Here comes the end of the world
I'm gettin' sick of this universe
Ain't gonna get better; it's gonna get worse
And the world's gonna sink with the weight of the human race
Hate and fear in every face
I'm gettin' ready and I've packed my case
If you find somewhere better, can you save my place?
Fooling no one but ourselves
Good is dying
Here comes the end
Here comes the end of the world
I've had enough of right and wrong
I've had enough of tryin' to love my brother
And doin' everything like I'm told I should
If you need a lover, you'd better find another
Takers never giving
My love is turning into lust
If you get on the wrong side of me you better run for cover
My passive days are gonna be long gone
If you slap one cheek, well, I ain't gonna turn the other
Takers never giving
Good is dying
Here comes the end of the world
Ain't gonna get better; it's gonna get worse
And the world's gonna sink with the weight of the human race
I'm gettin' ready and I've packed my case
If you find somewhere better, can you save my place?
Good is dying
Here comes the end
Here comes the end of the world

hmmmm...loosing faith in people in general? especially the references to christianity (love my brother/ won't turn the other cheek)
interesting how he says 'i've had enough of being good' but then says the whole world is loosing its love.
"What's the point? I've had enought of this s**t, I can't live anymore, I can't live this pettey 'MOD' Lifestyle..."
Note that Pete Townshend said "Mod is a shorter word for 'young beautiful and stupid.'"
This song resonated with me from the first time I heard it as a kid. It lingered in my head throughout high school as something of a refuge during tough times.
It has a great build to the opening line (which Roger screams perfectly). The strings add more tension later in the song. This, I believe, is John Entwistle's greatest song, and I will always be thankful to him (and The Who) for the catharsis I found through this song.
This song's role in my life was later supplanted by Sonic Reducer in college and Bullet with Butterfly Wings as a worker bee.
