Shooting Star: Taken enough [lyrics]

Shooting Star: Taken enough [lyrics]

Shooting Star

Taken enough

It's shakin' in this town

A headline on the morning news

A photo of a young girl

Trying hard to kiss away the blues

She answered the question

Why waste your lives away?

She said:

'Our lives? Hell, we've been working all day'

CHORUS

Lord knows we've taken enough

Lord knows we've taken enough

Lord knows we've taken, we've taken enough

A enough is enough

Takin' time to clock out

Time to leave it all behind

Takin' time to tell the world

You haven't got the time

So I want to get crazy

So what if I can't see straight?

So what if I'm easy?

Hell, we all need a break

CHORUS

Growin' up in America

Hard talk on the radio

People talkin' about money, talkin' about it

More and more and more and more

Can you blame a young kid?

Sometimes you've got to walk away

'Cause there's only so much

Any one soul can take

CHORUS
