| Have you ever cried out with your face up to the sky
|
| There’s been a mix-up, there’s been a mix-up
|
| Here we stand with open eyes
|
| These changing goals can save our lives
|
| Believe it, you best believe it.
|
| You gotta give us a break
|
| How much more can we take?
|
| You gotta give us a break
|
| How much more can I take?
|
| We are reaching out our hands to catch a bomb before it lands
|
| And kills us, it’s taken long enough.
|
| Cause so much time in history have taught us we can’t fight for peace
|
| It’s crazy, ah, it’s really crazy.
|
| You gotta give us a break
|
| How much more can we take?
|
| You gotta give us a break
|
| How much can this world take?
|
| Tell me just how many tellin' friends
|
| It takes to make it cool the plan of future
|
| Where we can grow.
|
| You Know you’re doing us no favours
|
| In thes game of scare the neighbours
|
| Cause they’re closer than we know.
|
| What would I be like without this threat to me in mind
|
| And I remind it a hundred times a day.
|
| There’s so much left in this old world
|
| And baby, with your tummy full of babies, Oh Baby.
|
| Give us a break
|
| Please for someone elses’s sake
|
| You gotta give us a break
|
| How much more can I take?
|
| Tell me how much more can we take
|
| How much more… |
