Taken away to the dark side

I love you when you're singing that song
And I got a lump in my throat
'Cause you're gonna sing the words wrong

Well, there's a little boy waiting at the counter of a corner shop
He's been waiting down there, waiting half the day
They never ever see him from the top

I've had enough now I want my share
Can't you see? I wanna live
But you just take more than you give"
