Take It Too Hard

Lyrics: Michael O'Neill
Music: Michael O'Neill

Recorded by Kingfish with a line-up that included Matthew Kelly and Dave Torbert but not Bob Weir or other earlier members..

Fear there's money
Fear there's power
Lots of ivory towers
For the grieving
And the seething
Who count their lives by hours

Here's your money
Here's your power
Keys to all those towers
If you're willing
To be selling
Your life away by the hour

Take it too hard
And it leaves you broken-hearted
If you take it too lightly
It leaves you where you started

People hungry
People dying
Everybody's crying
While the leaders
And succeeders
Stay on top by lying

Help the hungry
Help the dying
Can't you hear them crying
Free the money
Free the power
Shake those ivory towers

Take it too hard
And it leaves you broken-hearted
If you take it too lightly
It leaves you where you started

Help the hungry
Help the dying
Can't you hear them crying
Free the money
Free the power
Shake those ivory towers

Take it too hard
And it leaves you broken-hearted
If you take it too lightly
It leaves you where you started

Take it too hard
And it leaves you broken-hearted
If you take it too lightly
It leaves you where you started
