The Last Straw

One straw broke the camel's back

One step forward, two steps back

The last straw the pressure's comin' down on you

What did you do to you?

The last straw there's nothing - ain't nothin'

Nothing left that I can do!



It's been a long time

And I should've known better

Than to trust you

It's the last straw!

It's been a long time and I should have been wiser

Where you ever as you seemed?

It's the last straw!



How much longer until I crack?

Working towards a heart attack!

There's little that's left to do



When hope alone won't see you through

The last straw the pressure's coming down on you

What did you do to you?

The last straw there's nothing - ain't nothin'

Nothing left that I can do!



It's been a long time

And I should've known better

Than to trust you

It's the last straw!

It's been a long time and I should have been wiser

Where you ever as you seemed?

It's been a long time

It's the last straw!

And I should've known better

Than to trust you with my dreams

It's the last straw!



[Solos: Schenck & Thompson]



The last straw

The last straw the pressure's coming down on you

What did you do to you?

The last straw there's nothing - ain't nothin'

Nothing left that I can do!

It's been a long time and I should've known better

Than to trust you with my dreams

It's the last straw!

It's been a long time and I should have been wiser

Where you ever as you seemed?

It's the last straw!

It's been a long time and I should've known better

Than to trust you with my dreams

It's the last straw!

It's been a long time, oh yeah

And I should have known better

It's the last straw!



Should've known better

Should've known better

Should've known better

It's the last straw!
