Stop!
It’s a cop!
[Verse 1]
The weight of the system is bearing down “I am” (Attack)
And, if you ask me, they can take it all back (Back)
I worked so hard to get a say (Say, say)
And, now they want to take it away (all away)
And, I’ve only got one thing to say
[Break]
NO WAY!
[Bridge]
No way…
[Chorus]
You ain’t takin’ my pride away (no way)
One thing I can tell you for sure (no more)
You can take a whole lot more (no more)
But, you ain’t gonna… you ain’t gonna…
(Oh, no, oh, no)
[Instrumental, Saxophone Solo]
[Verse 2]
The weight of the world is bearing down I’m told (Bold)
And, if you ask me, they can take it all back (Back)
I worked so hard to find a way (away)
And, now they want to take it away (all away)
But, I’ve got one thing left to say
[Break]
NO WAY!
[Bridge]
No way…
[Chorus]
You ain’t takin’ my pride away (no way)
One thing I can tell you for sure (no more)
You can take a whole lot more (no more)
But, you ain’t gonna… you ain’t gonna…
(Oh, no, oh, no)
[Outro]
Pull over
Are you knowing
How fast you’re going?
