"Take What You Can Carry" lyrics

"Take What You Can Carry"

You get what you pay for
Unless you take a little more
What's the delay for?
Ain't nothing but a thunderstorm
Find a new angle
You and me, we'll start a war
Or you'll get what you paid for
And that's all

Take what you can carry
Joseph and Mary
They're out of town tonight

Well, you get what you pay for
The shiny things on silver screens
The media, celebrities
What's the delay for?
Take what you want, not what you need
Just take and take and take, take, take

Take what you can carry
Joseph and Mary
They're out of town tonight

My children will be shining
Covered in diamonds
If you see me, don't put up a fight
Or you'll get what you paid for
Yeah, you'll get what you paid for

Take what you can carry
Joseph and Mary
They're out of town tonight

My children will be shining
Covered in diamonds (You better hope you don't see me)

Take what you can carry
Joseph and Mary
They're out of town tonight

My children will be shining
Covered in diamonds
If you see me, don't put up a fight
Or you'll get what you paid for
Yeah, you'll get what you paid for
