Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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?
[Verse 2]
Take the strain!
[Verse 3]
Are you the man in the next bed
Without the tubes, without the life support?
Maybe the man whose pockets weigh you down
[Verse 4]
Take the strain! Do you wear strife
Take the strain! Like a clown?
Take the strain! Or accumulate
Take the strain! With a frown?
[Verse 5]
Take the strain!
[Verse 6]
Are you the animal that escapes the snares and traps?
Bearing no quarry scars and the hunter's crown
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
Choose full pain, violate, make the grade
Taut wires fray, electro-brain, take the strain!
[Verse 9]
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
