Enough Is Enough
Mike Pinto Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Many a town
I've seen 'em drown their sorrows
Gonna feel worse tomorrow
Can't make it out
Can't scratch the itch
Can't scream and shout no
And I can't flip your switch
And I drink what you drink drink
I'm still convinced yeah
That you hardly think
I'm afraid to even share my thoughts
Cuz I know you would take them for free
Then you'd sell my ideas, a hundred a pop
So buy a half-empty shot just for me
I've had enough
Enough is Enough
I've had enough
Enough is Enough
I've been around
Oh many a town
I've seen 'em get down and beg
Then start pulling my leg
They get me high
Say they're my friends
Then ask me why, why
I'm not like them
Ask them for change
Oh they would agree
But all on their minds are nickels and dimes
Oh I know the color of greed
If money could grow on your tree
Yea I'm sure you would charge me a tax
No you wouldn't waste time, planting a seed
Yeah you'd just start swinging an ax
I've had enough
Enough is enough
I've had enough
Enough is enough
You don't have a clue on how to be a friend
Now what you gonna do
My rope is at its end
The things you put me through
They won't happen again
'Cause you're a funeral that no one will attend
Go ahead and take a hint
I'm sick of all your stupid shit
I'm kickin ass and takin' names
So bon voyage yeah you can keep the change
I've had enough
Enough is enough
I've had enough
Enough is enough
I've had enough
Enough is enough
I've had enough
Enough is enough
I've had enough
Enough is enough
I've had enough
Enough is enough
Yeah I've had enough

I've been around
I have been to many places
Many a town
Multiple different towns
I've seen 'em drown their sorrows
I have witnessed people cope with their sadness by drinking alcohol
Gonna feel worse tomorrow
They will feel even more sad the following day
Can't make it out
Unable to leave or escape the situation
Can't scratch the itch
Unable to fix the problem
Can't scream and shout no
Unable to yell and express their emotions
And I can't flip your switch
Unable to influence or change the person's behavior
I see how you live
I observe and understand how you behave
And I drink what you drink drink
I consume the same drinks as you
I'm still convinced yeah
I firmly believe that
That you hardly think
You do not reflect much on your actions
I'm afraid to even share my thoughts
I am scared to express my opinions
Cuz I know you would take them for free
I fear that you would steal my ideas
Then you'd sell my ideas, a hundred a pop
You would sell my ideas for a high price
So buy a half-empty shot just for me
Purchase a drink for me, but it does not need to be full
I've had enough
I cannot tolerate this anymore
Enough is Enough
The situation must come to a stop
I've seen 'em get down and beg
I have witnessed people act pitifully for assistance
Then start pulling my leg
Later, they try to trick or deceive me
They get me high
They encourage me to take drugs
Say they're my friends
Claiming to be my friend
Then ask me why, why
Questioning me about my choices
I'm not like them
I do not behave like they do
Ask them for change
Requesting for money
Oh they would agree
They would say yes
But all on their minds are nickels and dimes
They are only thinking about money
Oh I know the color of greed
I recognize the type of behavior that is motivated by money
If money could grow on your tree
If money could magically appear for you
Yea I'm sure you would charge me a tax
You would charge me for your fortune
No you wouldn't waste time, planting a seed
You would not work hard to earn your money
Yeah you'd just start swinging an ax
You would use force or manipulation to obtain riches
You don't have a clue on how to be a friend
You do not understand how to treat someone you call a friend
Now what you gonna do
What happens next?
My rope is at its end
I am at my limit
The things you put me through
The negative situations you have caused for me
They won't happen again
I will not allow myself to be mistreated any longer
'Cause you're a funeral that no one will attend
You are someone who will be alone in tragedy
Go ahead and take a hint
Please understand my message
I'm sick of all your stupid shit
I am tired of your nonsensical behavior
I'm kickin ass and takin' names
I am fighting back and standing up for myself
So bon voyage yeah you can keep the change
Goodbye, keep the money
Yeah I've had enough
I cannot handle this anymore
