lyrics

You take what you want, you take what you need
You don’t give a shit you were born from greed
Now I can see you’re incomplete
Everything I do you must compete

Were you neglected as a child
Did they not give a damn
Let you just run wild
Do you have any fears you just can’t hide

Whatever it may be
Are you aware of what you do
When did good turn into bad
I’ve tried so many times just to get through
Has anybody seen inside of you

You take what you want, you take what you need
So many demons there to feed
Now I can see you are incomplete
So many like you there to meet

Were you neglected as a child
Did they not give a damn
Let you just run wild
Do you have any fears you just can’t hide

Whatever it may be
Are you aware of what you do
When did good turn into bad
I’ve tried so many times just to get through
Has anybody seen inside of you

You take what you want
You take what you need
