Take the Strain Napalm Death

[Verse 1]
Take the strain! (Can you take it?)
Take the strain! (Or even fake it?)
Take the strain! (Aren't we lucky)
Take the strain! (To be breathing?)
Take the strain!

[Chorus 1]
Are you the man in the next bed
Without the tubes, without the life support?
Maybe the man whose pockets weigh you down

[Verse 2]
Take the strain! (Do you wear strife?)
Take the strain! (Like a clown?)
Take the strain! (Forgiveness)
Take the strain! (With a frown)
Take the strain!

[Chorus 2]
Are you the animal
That escapes the snares and traps?
Bearing no quarry scars, and the hunter's crown

[Post-Chorus]
(???)
