ENOUGH IS ENOUGH BLUES song lyrics 2nd version
by Joel Sattler
you know that I thought
thought that I was strong
you know I believed
I could never be wrong
you know I was sure
sure as I can be
that the whole world
was an apple just for me
but now I know better
I aint so tough
the gods of fate
have called my bluff
thought I was made
out of all the right stuff
but now I gotta say
that enough is enough
there was a time
I thought I couldn't fail
and I thought I had
the whole world by the tail
thought I had guts
thought that I was so brave
thought I could take
more than I ever gave
thought I had it rough
I thought that I had the stuff
thought that I knew
who was who what was what
thought I could be
what I feel in my gut
but now I see
that enough is enough
enough is enough
enough is enough
do I have to cry uncle
okay, you called my bluff
enough is enough
enough is enough
my body is crumpled
and I don't know what
what more can this life
can it ask of me
I'm under the knife
and there's no mercy
one foot in the grave
but there's no guarantee
I can't be a slave
cause I have to be free
they say that all men
make the same mistake
they don't realize
that at some point they will break
if you don't know your limits
you don't know when to hedge
you could lose it all
and you go over the edge
a man is a flame
so easily snuffed
a woman the same
made of the same dust
a knife in the brain
and it all could go bust
it can drive you insane
when enough is enough is enough
