With The Pride

Just leave me with the pride

That I worked for

Now they've taken the reason away

Just leave me with the pride

That I worked for

Today



Build on rock or build on sand

They're never gonna lend a hand

So nothing grows or nothing stands

I can't take anymore

I can't take anymore



There's not a lot of space for me

But I've still got my dignity

I've got my price

Don't say I'm free

I can't take anymore

I can't take anymore



But I'm hungry

I could eat anything

But I'm hungry

Oh, let's dance, oh, let's swing



And all that I hear

Are the words that she sings

Now they've taken it all

Now they've taken it all



Just leave me with the pride

That I worked for

Now they've taken the reason away

Just leave me with the pride

That I worked for

Today



Just leave me with the pride

That I worked for

Now they've taken the reason away

Just leave me with the pride

That I worked for

Today



I'd rather take this cure for life

Than make myself a sacrifice

If living is to pay the price

I can't take anymore

I can't take anymore



It takes a while to understand

When your eyes are full of sand

When only time is in your hands

I can't take anymore

I can't take anymore



But I'm hungry

I could eat anything

But I'm hungry

Oh, let's dance, oh, let's swing



And all that I hear

Are the words that she sings

Now they've taken it all

Now they've taken it all



Just leave me with the pride

That I worked for

Now they've taken the reason away

Just leave me with the pride

That I worked for

Today



Just leave me with the pride

That I worked for

Now they've taken the reason away

Just leave me with the pride

That I worked for

Today



(Instrumental Interlude)



Ooooh

But I'm hungry

I could eat anything

But I'm hungry

Oh, let's dance, oh, let's swing



And all that I hear

Are the words that she sings

Now they've taken it all

Now they've taken it all



Just leave me with the pride

That I worked for

Now they've taken the reason away

Just leave me with the pride

That I worked for

Today



Leave me with the pride

That I worked for

Now they've taken the reason away

Leave me with the pride

That I worked for

Today



Leave me with the pride

With the pride

That I worked for

Today



Ooooh,

Just leave me with the pride

That I worked for

Now they've taken the reason away

Just leave me with the pride

That I worked for

Today
