Give Us a Break - John Sebastian

Have you ever cried out with your face up to the sky

There’s been a mix-up, there’s been a mix-up

Here we stand with open eyes

These changing goals can save our lives

Believe it, you best believe it.

You gotta give us a break

How much more can we take?

You gotta give us a break

How much more can I take?

We are reaching out our hands to catch a bomb before it lands

And kills us, it’s taken long enough.

Cause so much time in history have taught us we can’t fight for peace

It’s crazy, ah, it’s really crazy.

You gotta give us a break

How much more can we take?

You gotta give us a break

How much can this world take?

Tell me just how many tellin' friends

It takes to make it cool the plan of future

Where we can grow.

You Know you’re doing us no favours

In thes game of scare the neighbours

Cause they’re closer than we know.

What would I be like without this threat to me in mind

And I remind it a hundred times a day.

There’s so much left in this old world

And baby, with your tummy full of babies, Oh Baby.

Give us a break

Please for someone elses’s sake

You gotta give us a break

How much more can I take?

Tell me how much more can we take

How much more…
