Take the Strain

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 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 our grasp!

Chasing tails without the basic facts



Choose full pain, voilate, make the grade

Taut wires frey, 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
