take back the toys
Take back the toys that you've given me I never knew what to do with them anyway I never knew how to break out the box I sink the pebbles and boulders and blocks So take back the toys that you threw my way I never knew what to do with them anyway I never knew how to break out the box I guess the tables were served on the rocks I've been down on the beaten track Just holding on, holding up, holding back Given not what I've got but of what I lack I guess that's what we've been taught all along It's the time for poison in the locks that I got for free And I've been pumping the pills placed in front of me But I've had enough baby I'm breaking free I never knew why it would take me so long Take back the toys they are destroying me Hear what I say? I say Take back the toys that you've given me I never knew what to do with them anyway I never knew how to break out the box I sink the pebbles and boulders and blocks Open my eyes to what I despise And in fourteen seconds or more I tear it down You see they give you toys just to distract And then they break your mind so they can break your back Got you in so much that you can't pay it back And that's the way that it has been for far too long Take back the toys they are destroying me Hear what I say?
