The takers never tire of taking but the givers always will
Then the disillusionment's swallowed like an icky little pill
The taker will grimace and blame the giver's pride
But the truth is an ugly mess far too obvious to hide
So the taker moves on to another needy soul
While surveying prospective places to dig another hole
To put the tawdry manuscript of unrequited love
But the preface is presented from the starry skies above
The givers are never what the taker really wants
The evidence lies in cold incessant taunt
Taker on taker is a condition to deplore
Givers together can sustain so much more
It's this truth eternal disclosing every deal
Grinding unsuspecting givers under heavy iron wheels
The compromise is the taker's secret bane
Reluctant morsels thrown from the swiftly moving train
Some say it's better to have given than receive
And that's an ancient axiom that takers can believe
