InspirationNow Series - How Much Can You Take?

How much
How much can one man take
Before he breaks
Before he breaks?
How much
How much can one man take
Before he breaks
Before he breaks?
How much
How much can one man take
Before he breaks
Before he breaks?

Isn't it just great
To see the politics of this age
They're fake
These counterfeits give reason for rage
As we turn
Another page in this society
I investigate our history
And what do I see?
Man, it freaks me
(Yeah it's so freaky)
Our fathers and mothers longed to be free
Willing to die
And give their lives for their liberty
And what does that make me?
A free man
But somehow I can't understand
That today
We throw away our independence

How much
How much can one man take
Before he breaks
Before he breaks?

How much
How much can one man take
Before he breaks
Before he breaks?
You get everything you want
But you have nothing that you need
The system is well planned, man
And it'll bring you to your knees
For nobody seems to realise
That they're nothing but slaves
Slowly dying
By digging their own graves
And I've learned to behave
And I've learned to be brave
But
How much
How much can one man take
Before he breaks

It makes no sense
We want to be slaves?
We're under spiritual attack
But nobody wants to see that
There's no respect
Coz everybody's just a victim
Poor little criminal
You're just an accident of this system
No one is taught
About the consequences of our actions
All we want is satisfaction
Instead of responsibility
We make excuses
Our heroes are losers
What are we teaching our youth?
For nobody talks about sin
Instead we call it a problem
Or a struggle
And if we can't overcome it
We just give in and have a coming out
You can do anything
Please do anything
As long as you please the crowd

As I take a look around
There's no more disguise
They push immorality
Pornography right in from of my eyes
They're raping my mind
Through movies magazines, ads and billboards
I can take it not more
I no longer can ignore
Babylon the great whore
Is setting up her throne

How much
How much can one man take
Before he breaks
Before he breaks?
You get everything you want
But you have nothing that you need
The system is well planned, man
And it'll bring you to your knees
For nobody seems to realize
That they're nothing but slaves
Slowly dying by digging their own graves
And I've learned to behave
And I've learned to be brave
But
How much
How much can one man take
Before he breaks
Before he breaks
(How much can one man take)
(Before he breaks)
(Before he breaks?)

How much
How much can one man take
Before he breaks
Before he breaks?
I'm taking a side
I'm standing up for what is right
Even if it costs my very life
