Buddy Bee Anthony - No More

Everything good has been taken
All the cool in school's long gone
Instead of rum n coke at a co-ed mixer
I get iced milk on a soggy cone

Everyone's after the same dollar
Wherever I've called my home
It used to be fun to meet and greet new people
Now I get hollered at when sayin hello

So, I've buried my face bone deep in a book
I've casted off and away in an abandoned nook
I've looked all over hell for a magic potion
When my fifth wheel gets spinnin
and my feet are in motion

I can't take anymore.
All of this bloodshed, the guts and whats more
Bats on my ceiling, rats at my door
I just can't take any more


Ticker takers hauled away all the good stuff
They'll sell you a ticker but you won't get enough
Traded away my paper dollars no silver or gold
Got a leaky pup tent by the railroad

As a young man out flying my kite
Mom and dad said it'd turn out alright
But, my carefree days ended all too soon
when my kite hit the ground
busting like a balloon

I can't take anymore
I get the same raw deal when I go to the store
Sometimes I feel like a two dollar whore
Makin fool plans to even the score
I just can't take anymore

What I wouldn't do to sleep just once through the night
Spin the wheel of fortune on a midnight flight
Work from eleven, then get off at four
Gun my gas pedal on down to the floor

I can't take any more
I want out of this war
When I fall asleep
I wheeze as I snore
When I finally awaken
I've sleep walked out my back door
I just can't take anymore
