You Can’t Take What You Don’t Have
WhiteHeart
Shaun, would you bring my slippers?
My dancin’ slippers.
Strip it clean
Chain my hands
And take my land
Cut my hair
Try to shut my mouth
I’ll still speak-out
Tie me up
Close my eyes
You can hypnotize
You can tear me apart
But you’ll never touch my heart
‘Cause you can’t take what you don’t have
Hear the whispered warnings
Down the corridor of time
Crack the whip
Pull the chains
But the story will unwind
See the drawn-out faces
Live the history
Look into the children’s eyes
This is what you’ll reap
Strip it clean
Chain my hands
And take my land
Cut my hair
Try to shut my mouth
I’ll still speak-out
Tie me up
And close my eyes
You can hypnotize
You can tear me apart
But you’ll never touch my heart
‘Cause you can’t take what you don’t have
You can’t take what you don’t have
You can’t take what you don’t have
Oh, you don’t have me
Here comes the government
Knockin’ at my door
They’ve tried to take it all
Now they’re back for more
I know what they’re after
But there’s nothin’ they can do
‘Cause the heart and the soul of the ages
Is somethin’ I won’t lose
Strip it clean
Chain my hands
And take my land
Cut my hair
Try to shut my mouth
I’ll still speak-out
Tie me up
Close my eyes
You can even hypnotize
You can tear me apart
But you’ll never touch my heart
‘Cause you can’t take what you don’t have
You can’t take what you don’t have
You can’t take what you don’t have
You can’t take what you don’t have
You don’t have me
Strip it clean
Chain my hands
Cut my hair
Try to shut my mouth
Tie me up
Close my eyes
You can tear me apart
But you’ll never touch my heart
‘Cause you can’t take what you don’t have
You can’t take what you don’t have
You can’t take what you don’t have
You can’t take what you don’t have
You can’t take what you don’t have
You can’t take what you don’t have

ReplyDeleteI asked Rick about the dancing slippers line... he has yet to reply to me.
ReplyDeleteI have often wondered about that, myself. Please let me know if he ever offers an explanation. Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Dwacon!!!
ReplyDeleteReally appreciate that stanza:
ReplyDeleteYou can tear me apart
But you’ll never touch my heart
‘Cause you can’t take what you don’t have
The repeated theme of you can't take what you don't have throughout the song is a valuable reminder.
