They’re Taking Everything

Circle, circle, circle up.

Listen here, and don’t interrupt

The sky’s gonna get dark pretty fast.

We have to take steps so that

we can last.

 The bang, the boom is what you hear.

But what you’ll see will likely disappear

The flash, the smoke will go away

Don’t back down or else

there’s a price you’ll hafta pay.

They’re taking everything

Oh they’re taking everything

Oh they are taking everything

if it ain’t nailed down,

They’re taking everything

Oh they’re taking everything

Oh they are taking everything

Yes they’re in then they’re out.

Dig on in, speak on up.

Don’t sit down, don’t pass the cup.

The music stops/the chair is gone

And you’ll be cryin’ unless you get

really strong. 

The pack it travels low at night

it comes on in at dusk and

ducks away from your flashlights.

Then it springs; you turn & look

Doors are open; mind is shook.

They’re taking everything

Oh they’re taking everything

Oh they are taking everything

if it ain’t nailed down,

They’re taking everything

Oh they’re taking everything

Oh they are taking everything

Yes, they’re in then they’re out.
