[Verse 1]
I just can't seem to take much more of this
Got too much hassle, baby, and not enough bliss
Got to give these hangers on a miss
'Cause I need some help I just don't get
[Verse 2]
No one seems to understand what's up, what's up, what's up
So called friends come and go and things just don't add up
Trying to make my way through all this illusion and myth
I don't even have no safety net
[Bridge]
Nero fiddled while Rome burnt
Napoleon met his Waterloo
Sampson went spare when Delilah cut his hair
But little David slew Goliath too, oh yeah
[Verse 3]
I'm just trying to get some results
Listen baby, I'm not trying to start my own cult
Please tell me something that I don't know
I just wanna get on with the show, alright
[Saxophone Solo]
[Bridge]
Nero fiddled while Rome burnt
Napoleon met his Waterloo
Sampson went spare when Delilah cut his hair
But little David slew Goliath too
[Verse 4]
You'd think some program might do the trick
Let me tell you, this wall of fog is just too thick
I thought of everything but the whip
But baby, nobody on my ship is up to it
[Verse 5]
I'm just trying to get some results, some results
I'm not trying to start my own cult, no no no no no no no no no no
Just tell me something I don't know
I just wanna get on with the show, got to, got to, got to, got to
[Verse 6]
I just wanna get on with the show
Baby, baby, baby, just tell me something that I don't know
I just wanna get on with the show
And if it don't work then let it go
[Outro]
Da da da da da
One more time
Da da da da da
Give it up, give it up, give it up, give it up
Give it up, give it up, give it up, give it up, give it up, give it up
Give it up, give it up, give it up, give it up, give it up
