Who, The - Had Enough Lyrics






I've had enough of bein' nice
I've had enough of right and wrong
I've had enough of tryin' to love my brother

I've had enough of bein' good
And doin' everything like i'm told I should
If you need a lover, you'd better find another

Life is for the living
Takers never giving

Suspicion takes the place of trust
My love is turning into lust
If you get on the wrong side of me you better run for cover

I've had enough of bein' trodden on
My passive days are gonna be long gone
If you slap one cheek, well, I ain't gonna turn the other

Life is for the living
Takers never giving

Fooling no one but ourselves
Good is dying

Here comes the end
Here comes the end of the world

I'm gettin' sick of this universe
Ain't gonna get better; it's gonna get worse
And the world's gonna sink with the weight of the human race

Hate and fear in every face
I'm gettin' ready and I've packed my case
If you find somewhere better, can you save my place?

Fooling no one but ourselves
Love is dying

Here comes the end
Here comes the end
Here comes the end of the world

Who, The Had Enough Comments
  1. A.... M....

    The Who almost if not had to end here. There, in their own lyrical content, stated such. See: Goodbye Sister Disco. AMJ

  2. f.... H....

    This reminds me of Bruce Haack - Incantation and not sure why?

  3. d.... d....

    yes, this tune particularly displays how the who seemed to be the perfect vehicle for moon's style-- he refused to keep to the groove all the time like Townsend attempted to get him to do. lyrically, there are probably many that would accuse it of negativity, however, I'm glad to see there's some here who think it's just realistic

  4. j.... g....

    Awesome album by the who This still rocks today rip Keith Moon his last album

  5. b.... ....

    The Ox's horn section gives me chills!

  6. A.... M....

    Perfect song for modern times

  7. M.... F....

  9. a.... b....

    I’ve had enough of being good, and doing everything like I’m told I should.

  10. A.... M....

  13. f.... ....

    Van halen stole this song for their track JUMP, and no one noticed it..

  14. f.... ....

    The string part here is some of the best composition in history of any music.

  15. f.... ....

    Rog is the one singer who never has a minute of routine boredom in his singing

  16. f.... ....

    The coward media scum never play this on the radio

  17. f.... ....

    Some stupid, castrated German music journalist once called the who are you album a work of monumental meaninglessness. He was right with the monumental. No other band has tried something like this.

  18. j.... l....

    I had a QUADRAPHONIC stereo set, the sound would bounce from speaker to speaker.Anyone remember that?GTJOEY1314

  19. P.... L....

    It,s a John Alec Entwistle song , Not a Peter Dennis Blandford Townshend song .. he didn't right that many ... so please do this right ...let's face it, The net is the new library for the youth ..

  20. C.... M....

    This is exactly the way I felt at 16.

  33. J.... W....

    The last real Who album.

  34. L.... B....

    Daltrey's finest vocal performance, this album really brings him to life. Best Who album.

    L.... B....

    i love this album but whos next is a literal best of the who.

  35. T.... ....

    So you post a song that is not yours, not performed by you, not written by you and you run advertisements on it so you can make money off the artist's work. What a scumbag you are StingWhoStones. A true scumbag.

  36. J.... F....

    I heard this song on an episode of WKRP In Cincinnati. It was a Veterans Day episode called "The Airplane Show" where Les Nessman and his fellow army veteran friend are flying a military airplane. Hearing this song makes me want to go out and take a flight on a Red Baron airplane in the sky. Love it!!!

  37. P.... G....

    Music to fight to

  38. A.... ....

    I was driving around blasting this earlier in my car and rocking out so much that I didn't hear the ambulance siren behind me!

  39. j.... ....

    Can you imagine being in the studio when they recorded this number?

  40. j.... ....

    This song wouldn't be the same without the instrumental between 2:32 and 3:35. Never tire of this song.

  41. b.... ....

    THE WHO RULEZ 112 NUTZO PK FOREVER !!!

  42. J.... Y....

    The Moon New That Chair Was His And Nobody Elses The Greatest Drummer In The World Way To Go Machine Man Your Spirit Lives Forever Thanks For All The Concerts and Your Albums That U Played In Detroit

  43. b.... ....

    The backing vocals and string arrangement blend so well. Throw in a little brass too.

  44. M.... B....

    Yep, I’ve had enough of the whole system!
    I’m either outback or cruising the stars if anyone is looking for me.

  45. s.... M....

    Well sung and said Mr. Daltrey!!!

  46. M.... M....

    just pushed the thumbs up to 715, goodbye Ludes

  47. S.... A....

    *FANTASTIC! I want to sing 🎤 like Roger! Drum 🥁 like Keith play bass like John and play guitar 🎸 and write songs like Pete!*

  48. T.... H....

    Greatest Bass players
    1. The Ox
    2. The rest

    T.... H....

    Wrong. The ox must be nr 2 also

  49. j.... ....

    This song is on a different level IMO, particular the melody and instrumental from 2:32 - 3:35.
    One of my favorites by The Who.

  50. C.... H....

    Wow, not sure if it was intentionally but ASIA's "Here comes The Feeling" sounds like a total ripoff...

    C.... H....

    I also read this song influenced not only Van Halen's "Jump" but also Daryl Hall & John Oates's "Kiss on My List."

    C.... H....

    Asia did rip off this song.

    C.... H....

    @ClassicTVMan1981X And possibly Genesis' "Turn It On Again" - maybe not quite as obvious but I can definitely hear a similarity.

    C.... H....

    @Gus Venables Yes, I agree with you on that!

  51. T.... G....

    I quit my job..what about you ? here comes the end of the world

  52. J.... M....

    This song, along with 905, was supposed to be a part of John's own rock opera, similar to Pete's Lifehouse. Had Enough and 905 are the only songs that were taken off the shelves for Who Are You. The rest of the songs are still nowhere to be found.

  53. w.... v....

    I love this song. Heard it on wkrp the airplane show. Great song.

  54. P.... N....

    By the way to previous no Who fan gets confused had enough x x ive had enough x wish ya had poor sod

  55. P.... N....

    There is no one else

  56. P.... N....

    The Who

  57. s.... ....

    Love this....but anybody got the original mix? I miss the horns being played right.

  58. B.... M....

    I found this new band after a loong search and reminds me to many cool bands, maybe some of you like it.. ;) https://youtu.be/XTSHMW1a0gQ

  59. p.... v....

    “Fooling no one but ourselves”.

  60. R.... K....

    12 thumbs down...must be Justin Bieber fans...... The Who...greatest rock band ever....Keith Moon..greatest rock drummer ever and showmen.....never to be replaced :)

  61. J.... A....

    An utterly toxic song. No wonder my Who-loving sister killed herself.

  62. M.... 8....

    Control your Venom Israel.
    You are still young at the UN.
    This is a statute. Pls.

  63. T.... S....

    As soon as the needle hit that record was hooked for life on the Who. Changed my life maybe even saved it.

  64. J.... W....

    I THINK THAT THIS AND OTHER ENTWISTLE PENNED SONGS ON THIS ALBUM, HE WAS REALLY HITTING HIS STRIDE AS A SONG WRITER. ALSO THIS ALBUM IS MIXED VERY WELL, YOU CAN HEAR EVERY INSTRUMENT.

  65. M.... u....

    who listen in 2017

  66. B.... ....

    It really ISN'T gonna get better motherfuckers.  I'm packing my bags.   Good luck folks.  (sorry for being salty, but I truly have had a fucking nough.)

  67. W.... ....

    Always one of my fave Who tunes...lesser known, but one of the best! Loved it from the day I heard it when I bought the album the day it came out!!

    W.... ....

    Actually it's my fave Who song.

    W.... ....

    It is the best track on that great album!

  68. K.... S....

    In 1970 The Who were the third biggest band in the World. Pete Townsend is one of the greatest songwriters of the, 60's and 70's he writes his own songs and they all have meaning. I Can't Explain. Pictures of Lily, I Can See For Miles are some of my favourites. But in 1971 Who's Next was one of my top 10 albums ever Baba Oh Riley, Behind Blue Eyes, and Won't Get Fooled Again are some of the greatest songs ever.

  69. R.... ....

    Townsend is such a genius...Not that the rest of the band isn't but; he wrote nearly every who song...Keith's last album...RIP; ox and mooney...

    R.... ....

    Entwhistle wrote this one.

    R.... ....

    godbluffvdgg This a john entwistle song.

  70. G.... B....

    this song is so good never tired of hearing it ;];];];];]

  71. O.... ....

    Shows that John Entwistle's songwriting was up there with Pete's

    O.... ....

    OxFan
    One of the best bass players ever. Great composer too. What a band.
    Pete is one incredible guitar player because his drummer and bassist are both playing leads !

  72. J.... ....

    FUCK EVERYONE THAT ISN'T COOL

    J.... ....

    This is a song about the future.

  73. A.... ....

    An old episode of, the TV sitcom, ''WKRP In Cincinnati'', brought me here. Used to love the show.

  74. r.... ....

    Theme song of the trump presidency.

  75. G.... I....

    I first heard this song on WKRP in Cincinnati in 1980. It was on the episode called "The Airplane Show".

  76. A.... F....

    the music must change great tune

  77. F.... G....

    I've had enough of bein' nice
    I've had enough of right and wrong
    I've had enough of tryin' to love my brother

    I've had enough of bein' good

  85. C.... ....

    WKRP In Cincinnati!!!!!!!!!!

    C.... ....

    My favorite episode. Not easy finding it with the original soundtrack, though.

    C.... ....

    That s when I first heard it

    C.... ....

    Clemson Legette same here. This song makes me want to go on a journey in the sky on a Red Baron plane.

  86. P.... G....

    Keith Moon- Not To Be Taken Away
    Gone but never forgotten.

    P.... G....

    Paul Grubbs made me cry. You noticed that "not to be taken away" so prophecy. Choked up. 😥

    P.... G....

    John Smith 32 in one night is worse.

    P.... G....

    david johanson It is one of those weird/creepy things in rock history.

    P.... G....

    Paul Grubbs best drummer ever

    P.... G....

    @John Smith Poor Keith? The moron took 32 pills, what did he expect?

  87. J.... ....

    Not to be confused with "I've Had Enough" from Quadrophenia.

    J.... ....

    quadrophenia was a conceptual album but   who are you is more single oriented.

    J.... ....

    you are not kidding about that took me 2 days to find this track ;];];];];]

    J.... ....

    Oddly enough, both are my favorites.  I really have had enough of living too.

    J.... ....

    If you get on the wrong side of me, you better run for cover!

    J.... ....

    JDSly1 really, hmmmmmm i should know. Let me checks this out. Love this song, especially John contribution of horns.

  88. u.... ....

    The brass and strings remind me of the "sound" from the album Jesus Christ Superstar. Though that offering lacked a certain Mr. Moon. Love the Ox!

  89. L.... M....

    "I love this song, it's so defiant. To bad it really never made it to a " live" set list. " LIFE IS FOR THE LIVING."

    L.... M....

    LeftMeNot Yep Their is a beauty to the song and yet you can feel the anger rebellion cocky attitude that drips from this Great WHO song - The Who where always great at mixing emotions through their songs and translated great to the stage. THE WHO

  90. t.... ....

    Theme song.

    t.... ....

    saw them life 3 times best

  91. J.... S....

    Timely song. Wherever you may be.

  92. R.... O....

    4 thumbs down what a joke you cant be a who fan and not love this album

    R.... O....

    right rich whole album kicks ass

    R.... O....

    Rich Oliver bull shit

    R.... O....

    love this song

  93. S.... ....

    prophetic of what's going on with our society today...

    S.... ....

    How so? But, maybe you are correct....

    S.... ....

    I always wonder if the world sinking with too many people is actually possible somehow gravitationally speaking.
    For me it is prophetic, because i really have 'bout had enough. Perhaps that mood is prophetic for the world. Eventually what happens if EVERYONE has just had e fucking nough at the same time??

    S.... ....

    Best thing was Keith's apocalyptic drumming.

  94. a.... m....

    I love that picture of this album. Two guys who know how to use all of that electric stuff behind them to make such great music, second to nobody else, one guy who knows how to be the best drummer in the world and Roger who like Peter knows how to be a good SHOWMAN, and Roger can really sing no matter how fast or slow the tempo, Roger is as good as they come!

    a.... m....

    Ironic that the photographer had Keith sit in the chair to hide his paunch and that is why the message on the chair made the cover.

    a.... m....

    the who rules awesome album

  95. A.... ....

    I remember upon release in '78 I thought "Damn they're getting old!" Loved the album for it's raw energy & new reach. I had the 8-Track for the car & the vinyl for the home.

  96. A.... ....

    According to Wikipedia this is a Hard rock song.....why? This sounds New Wave to me! It is New Wave! Don't believe in Wikipedia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    A.... ....

    AlectravianJF96 no just plain ol fashioned rock n roll
