Take The Strain Lyrics

Take the strain !
Can you take it ?
Take the strain !
or even fake it ?
Take the strain !
Aren't we lucky
Take the strain !
to be breathing ?

Take the strain !

Are you the man in the next bed
without the tubes,
without the life support ?
Maybe the man
whose pockets
weight 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 our 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 our grasp !
Chasing tails
without the basic facts.
