Verse 1
Standin' on the bandstand tryin' to sing a funky song
When this ugly guy comes up to me and grabs my microphone
Sayin', Hey there Mr. Guitar Man, can I sing along.
There ain't nothin' I like better than to sing a funky song
Chorus
I Said, Lord, Lord, Lord, Give me a break ,
Yes there is a limit, to how much I can take
I don't have the inclination, --- To accept your invitation
I said, Lord, Lord, Lord, give me a break,
There's a limit to how much I can take
Verse 2
Talkin' to my manager, told him to get real
He said, you know you can trust me Son, this is quite a deal
Despite his reassurances, I got a different feel
cause the contract that he handed me gave him the right to steal
Chorus
Instrumental Bridge ( 1 verse and chorus )
Verse 3
Talkin' to my Congressman, after he had won
To ask about his promises, and what he said was, Son
If you could make a contribution to my favorite fund
Maybe we can find a way, to see that it gets done
Chorus
tag lines:
I said, Lord, Lord, Lord, give me a break,
Yeah Lord, Lord, Lord, give me a break
There's a limit to how much I can take
Oh yeah
