Get All You Can Take Lyrics - Kiss
Review The Song (3)
I didn't know 'bout the modern ways of life,
I didn't really care
I never gave a damn about the future,
I never got my share
Somebody said, boy your time's a wastin',
you're movin' much too slow
So many things in life worth tastin',
so much you oughta know - look out
Get down, fool around,
if you got half a chance, you take it
Ooh yeah, stand your ground,
you gotta bend the rules to make it
Hold tight, see the light,
think of all the dues you're payin'
So true, I'm tellin' you,
wise up, can't you hear me sayin'
[Chorus:]
You gotta get all you can take -
sing along, gotta keep on hummin'
Stop waitin' for your lucky break -
stop waitin', wastin' time
What fuckin' difference does it make? -
ooh, gotta keep it comin'
You gotta get all you can take -
doncha know I'm gonna take what's mine
People lookin', eyes wide open, tell me what you see
Bodies tired, minds 'a chokin', you gotta set 'em free
Don't think about the race they're runnin',
they'll never let you in
With all the rules, it's a race of fools,
and you can never win - look out
Get down, fool around,
think of all the dues you're payin'
Oh yeah, stand your ground,
wise up, can't you hear me sayin'
[chorus]
(Yeah you know what I'm talking about,
ah just take a look around you)
[chorus]
I didn't really care
I never gave a damn about the future,
I never got my share
Somebody said, boy your time's a wastin',
you're movin' much too slow
So many things in life worth tastin',
so much you oughta know - look out
Get down, fool around,
if you got half a chance, you take it
Ooh yeah, stand your ground,
you gotta bend the rules to make it
Hold tight, see the light,
think of all the dues you're payin'
So true, I'm tellin' you,
wise up, can't you hear me sayin'
[Chorus:]
You gotta get all you can take -
sing along, gotta keep on hummin'
Stop waitin' for your lucky break -
stop waitin', wastin' time
What fuckin' difference does it make? -
ooh, gotta keep it comin'
You gotta get all you can take -
doncha know I'm gonna take what's mine
People lookin', eyes wide open, tell me what you see
Bodies tired, minds 'a chokin', you gotta set 'em free
Don't think about the race they're runnin',
they'll never let you in
With all the rules, it's a race of fools,
and you can never win - look out
Get down, fool around,
think of all the dues you're payin'
Oh yeah, stand your ground,
wise up, can't you hear me sayin'
[chorus]
(Yeah you know what I'm talking about,
ah just take a look around you)

New Respect | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/24/09
The above reviews are perfect examples of what this song is against. Taking life to seriously and getting bogged down. I personally love this song. Its an inspiration and I applaud Paul for writing it. It came at a time in the band where Gene was not 100% they had retard Mark St. John and the weight of the KISS world laid on Pauls shoulders. I would like to see what the hell the above contributers ever did with their creative lives. Not a whole hell of a lot I bet. Anyway. A+++ for this song. Love it.
funky | Reviewer: dgarts | 9/30/08
This tune has a riff and rhythm that smacks of Van Hagar (Van Halen with Sammy Hagar lead as front man). Bass and drums have a nice groove. Lyrically, Kiss was never Rush or Iron Maiden, but there is some kind of "in life you've got to go for it" message, and any band who's sold as many albums as Kiss has must know something about "going for it".
ok song | Reviewer: Greg Bailey | 2/9/08
Of allthe KISS songs I've heard this song is really very average, I really liked the guitar riffs and that was truly the main good part about it, very powerful guitar riffs just as this whole underrated album was. Some of the vocals in the song sung by Paul Stanley were all a bit too cheesy for me but overall I'd give it a C.
