It makes me want to scream in rage
A moment hung for every person of age
Their fate encapsulated in plastic pills

[Chorus]
It’s take take if you want to believe it is

This can’t be happening
You’ve stolen tomorrow
[Verse 2]

I’m sorry, I don’t know what I’ve done to deserve this tragedy
[Chorus]
It’s take take if you want to believe it is
We’ll save face while we’re trying to make it right
This can’t be happening
This can’t be happening
You’ve stolen tomorrow

On September 14th
You don’t know me
[Bridge]
It’s take take if you want to believe it is
We’ll save face while we’re trying to make it right
This can’t be happening
[Outro Chorus]
It’s take take if you want to believe it is
We’ll save face while we’re trying to make it right
This can’t be happening
This can’t be happening
(This can't be...)
This can’t be happening
You’ve stolen tomorrow
