Met a man who said he's got a villa down in Africa 
I asked him what he's doing here, the weather sucks, what's wrong with ya? 

He said he's got a gun, and that he's on the run 
He used to have a life but it went wrong 

Girlfriend's in a coma 
He's promised to look after her 
He's written to her favourite bands 
He's hoping for Metallica 

It all looks pretty grim 
He wishes it were him 
He used to have a life but it went wrong 

And he said 
Hey, what you living for? 
Hey, what you looking for? 
I'm not gonna take it any more 
Is anybody there? Is anybody out? 
Is anybody up? Is anybody down? 

I don't think I can take it any more 
I don't think I can take it any more 

She's cruising in her wheelchair 
She's dressed up like [a Mexican] 
She's holding up the traffic and there's gonna be an accident 

I bet she lives alone 
Is anybody home? 
She used to have a life but it went wrong 

And she says 
Hey, what you living for? 
Hey, what you learning for? 
I'm not gonna take it any more 
Is anybody there? Is anybody out? 
Is anybody up? Is anybody down? 

I don't think I can take it any more 
I don't think I can take it any more 

Hey, what you living for? 
Hey, what you looking for? 
I'm not gonna take it any more 
Is anybody there? Is anybody out? 
Is anybody up? Is anybody down? 

I don't think I can take it any more 
I don't think I can take it any more
