Whatever It Takes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Struck down and wheezing for breath
Seamstress hemming my legs
Struck down and wheezing for breath
Victims of this modern age
Struck down and wheezing for breath
Reluctant salesman buying used goods
Struck down and wheezing for breath
Who has come to grips with change?
Who has come forth with courage?
Struck down and wheezing for breath
Force fed words, words, words
Work force marching out of debt
Force fed words, words, words
Eyes: eyes
Legs: legs
Age: age
Goods: goods

The final line of the verse "Reluctant salesman buying used goods" suggests that even when we recognize the negative effects, we still willingly participate in the system by buying and selling used goods.
The second verse poses rhetorical questions that reflect on the challenges we face in adapting to this changing world: "Who has come to grips with change? Who has come forth with courage?" This highlights the difficulty of adjusting to a rapidly evolving society and the courage it takes to do so. The chorus then repeats the phrase "Struck down and wheezing for breath" to reinforce the struggle that comes with change.
