Lyrics
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
