lyrics

Can’t Take It

Tick tock time to go to work you just tick tock time the day
Turn to the one with the broken smile he’ll just tick tock turn away
Thinks I wanna take your place well there ain’t no place worth taking
Make-a-buck men working overtime with the claws that don’t stop raking

I can’t take it, I’m leaving this place
I can’t make it, I’m out of the race

Tick tock time to go to work I despise every minute
Tick tock till I’m out of here I would quit it in a second
Watch the faded worker take his place on the shelf by the old TV and the antique clock
Dust of time mixed with sand of life well it won’t turn into rock

I can’t take it, I’m leaving this place
I can’t make it, I’m out of the race

Tick tock till I’m out of here my days just waste away
Don’t back me in a corner now this dog’s been held at bay
My eyes are glazed my hands are tired my back and neck are sore
Head me for the sunlight, head me for the door

I can’t take it, I’m leaving this place
I can’t make it, I’m out of the race
I can’t take it, I’m leaving this place
I can’t make it, I’m out of the race

(Jan Gregor)
