Too Much Songtext
von Soulive

Uh, somebody, yeah
I need some help, good, fine

I don′t know how long I can stand for this
Working my fingers to the bone and don't get shit
Struggling to pay the rent
Got my check, all my money spent
Now I get the feeling this ain′t no accident

The rich keep getting richer
And the poor just stay the same
They don't wanna hear what we gotta say
But we gon' say it anyway

Don′t take too much (Too much)
Gon′ weigh you down
Don't take (Too much)
Gon′ take you down
You know, we could have (So much)
If you took just what you need
And passed it around (Pass it around)
Good Lord


Uh, get it
Somebody
God almighty
Yeah
Mhm

Mmm, I don't know who they think they are
You know I can′t even put gas in my car
And I think you would agree
This corrupt society
Is not a life I think I wanna lead

But the rich keep getting richer
And the poor just stay the same
They don't wanna hear what we gotta say
But I think I gotta say it anyway, yeah

(Too much) Gon′ weigh you down
Don't take (Too much)
Gon' take you down
You know, we could have (So much)
If you took just what you need
And passed it around (Pass it around)
Mhm


(Their cup is overflowing) Overflowing
(And mine ain′t even half full) Mine ain′t even half full
(Excess gets the best of us)
(And greed over takes your soul) Takes over your soul
(There's enough for all of us) Ah, ah
(We′re just a temple we live in)
So what we gotta do is look out for one another
Love will set us free, yeah

Too much (Too much)
Gon' weigh you down
Don′t take (Too much)
Gon' take you down
You could have (So much)
If you took just what you need
And passed it around (Pass it around)
