Just Can't Take No More - The Skints

To share your life’s work is your only reward

You live by the pen and you die by the sword

I’m struggling to breathe as i fall through the floor

And i just can’t take no more

I can’t get no money for the music i play

I can’t get no respect for the things that i say

I’m building cobwebs just to blow them away

And i just can’t take no more

When i was a youth this was never the plan

Thought that things would turn out better once i grew into a man

Now i’m crawling in the dirt because i’m too scared to stand

And i just can’t take no more

They say the struggle for power will turn your heart sour

Every hour of your days

If you just can’t be there inevitably you will crumble and blow away

Alone, oh yeah

Oh lord, oh yeah

Cause there ain’t no time for danger

And there ain’t no time for love

When we met we both were strangers

Well i guess once push comes to shove

I don’t wanna go back to a world without you

We spend these days living life on the road

We take what we can get and try to do as we’re told

There’s a glimmer in the distance but it’s never paved in gold

And we just can’t take no more

There’s no guarantees for this music we play

We don’t want to dissect everything that we say

No we don’t believe in Jah but we’re still writing dub reggae

And we just can’t take no more
