[Verse 1]
I didn't know about the modern ways of life
I didn't really care
I never gave a damn about the future
I never got my share

Somebody said, "Boy, your time's a-wastin'
You're movin' much too slow
So many things in life worth tastin'
So much you oughta know"
Look out

Get down, fool around
If you got half a chance, you take it
Ooh yeah, stand your ground
You gotta bend the rules to make it

Hold tight, see the light
Think of all the dues you're paying
So true, I'm telling you
Wise up, can't you hear me sayin'?

[Chorus]
(You gotta get all you can take)
Sing along, gotta keep on humming
(Stop waitin' for your lucky break)
Stop waiting , wasting time
(What fuckin' difference does it make?)
Whoa, gotta keep it coming
(You gotta get all you can take)
Don't you know I'm gonna take what's mine?
[Verse 2]
People looking, eyes wide open
Tell me what you see
Bodies tired, minds are choking
You got to set 'em free

Stop thinkin' 'bout the race they're running
They'll never let you in
With all the rules, it's a race of fools
And you can never win
Look out

Get down, fool around
Think of all the dues you're paying
Ooh yeah, stand your ground
Wise up, can't you hear me saying?

[Chorus]
(You gotta get all you can take)
Sing along, gotta keep on humming
(Stop waitin' for your lucky break)
Stop waiting , wasting time
(What fuckin' difference does it make?)
I'm okay, I gotta keep it coming
(You gotta get all you can take)
Ooh
[Bridge]
Ha ha ha
Yeah, you know what I'm talking 'bout
Ah, just take a look around you
Woo!

[Guitar solo]

[Chorus]
(You gotta get all you can take)
Sing along, let me hear you humming
(Stop waitin' for your lucky break)
Stop waiting , wasting time
(What fuckin' difference does it make?)
Whoa, gotta keep it coming
(You gotta get all you can take)
Ah, don't you know I'm gonna take what's mine?

I'll take it
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
