What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
When they found you, you were driven and hungry
2
You were playin' for your life then
3
You were livin' for the chance to be heard
4
What they promised, what they offered
5
Was more than you'd ever hoped for
6
To walk away, ya' know that would've been absurd
7
And talk about absurdity, it was madness
8
It was everything in excess
9
It was too much, too many and too little time
10
It was faceless people in jackets and ties
11
Who thought of you when they made love to their wives
12
Somehow, it wasn't what you had in mind
13
Tell 'em you're takin' it back
14
So they might as well get used to the idea
15
You're takin' it back
16
Those cooperating days are over
17
You got no one to blame but yourself
18
So don't put it on nobody else
19
Put it behind you, start over, today
20
There were parties and photos
21
And televised award shows
22
And covers of magazines
23
There was gold and platinum
24
And everyone was smiling
25
You were coming apart at the seems
26
There were jerk offs
27
Too numerous to mention
28
When everybody shared the dream
29
But when it came time
30
To share the nightmare
31
They were conveniently nowhere to be seen
32
Tell 'em you're takin' it back
33
So they might as well get used to the idea
34
You're takin' it back
35
Those cooperating days are over
36
You got no one to blame but yourself
37
So don't put it on nobody else
38
Put it behind you, start over, today
39
Oh, they'll argue what they gave you
40
Was exactly what you wanted
41
And just to be fair, you know that some of it's true
42
That's why ya' gotta be careful, 'bout your wishes
43
Take your time and think 'em over
44
Sometimes those wishes just might come true
45
Tell 'em you're takin' it back
46
So they might as well get used to the idea
47
You're takin' it back
48
Those cooperating days are over
49
Tell 'em you've had enough
50
And if they don't like it, it's tough
51
You're takin' it back
52
Those cooperating days are over
53
You're takin' it back
54
Tell 'em you're takin' it back
