John Elton - Sweat It Out-Elton John Bernie Taupin Lyrics

No ceiling on hard living

Peace keepers keep on breathing

Can't deny eye for eye

It's open season

Dictate to my reason

She devils ruling Britain

Hey girl stick it in your purse

Call it treason



Band aids on dead doorways

No heroes in the Bat Cave

Don't give me Tears For Fears

Give me tears of rage

Fires burn with black smoke

Oil slicks put us on the ropes

Man it's hard to handle

When the bank's broke



Don't kow-tow

Don't bow down

Loosen up

Get the lead out

Backs up let them shout

Backs up sweat it out

When your back's up

Sweat it out

Backs up

Sweat it out



Hope froze in the cold weather

No ice on a greasy river

Liberty and John Doe

Stand and Shiver

War waits when the lines form

The baby sitter in a uniform

Knocking down your door

For your rice and corn



No ceiling on hard living

Peace keepers keep on breathing

Can't deny eye for eye

It's open season

Dictate to my reason

She devils ruling Britain

Hey girl stick it in your purse

Call it treason
