Can't Take No More

To share your life's work is your only reward
you live by the pen and you die by the sword
i'm struggling to breathe as i fall through the floor
and i just can't take no more
i can't get no money for the music i play i can't get no respect for the things that i say i'm building cobwebs just to blow them away and i just can't take no more
when i was a youth this was never the plan thought that things would turn out better once i grew into a man now i'm crawling in the dirt because i'm too scared to stand
and i just can't take no more they say the struggle for power will turn your heart sour every hour of your days if you just can't be there inevitably you will crumble and blow away
alone, oh yeah oh lord, oh yeah
cause there ain't no time for danger
and there ain't no time for love
when we met we both were strangers
well i guess once push comes to shove
i don't wanna go back to a world without you we spend these days living life on the road we take what we can get and try to do as we're told there's a glimmer in the distance but it's never paved in gold and
we just can't take no more there's no guarantees for this music we play we don't want to dissect everything that we say no we don't believe in Jah but we're still writing dub reggae
and we just can't take no more
