THEY'RE TAKING EVERYTHING AWAYJack Tempchin, Glenn FreyWear your seat belt in your car Don't stop in at that smokey bar Don't you watch those young girls dance 'Cause man you're takin' quite a chance You better learn to do without Just have some celery and sprouts Don't touch that milk or cheese or meat And no more ice cream for a treat They're takin' everything away They're takin' everything away That's no good for you they say They're takin' everything away You can't get drunk, you can't get high You can't have sex or you might die There's nothing left to do but pray They're takin' everything away No more coffee no more booze You best be careful what you choose And you can go ahead and cry 'Cause no more burgers, no more fries They're takin' everything away They're takin' everything away That's no good for you they say They're takin' everything away You gave up donuts long ago Now give up girls and pot and blow I guess I'll live a long long time But until then I'll lose my mind They're takin' everything away They're takin' everything away That's no good for you they say They're takin' everything away You can't get drunk, you can't get high You can't have sex or you might die There's nothing left to do but pray They're takin' everything away |
