Let Me Up

This morning it was Tom Petty's Let Me Up (I've Had Enough) for me. It's 1987 and life's got Tom confused and angry, but he's ready to come up swinging. The mood is ominous and the sound is hard-driving and raw.
- Work 20 years and they'll take care of you.
They'll buy you a diamond, they'll send you on a cruise.
Give it all your money, give it all your time.
Then wake up one morning and wonder why.
Let me up--I've had enough.
I believe you baby, I know you wouldn't lie
Like a dog won't bark, like a bird won't fly.
Yeah pretty little baby, you're a weapon with eyes.
I know what you want, but it's a surprise.
Let me up--I've had enough.
