MITRA : Taken In, Taken For a Ride

is a song from the Genesis off shoot, Mike & The Mechanics taken from their self titiled album which was released in 1995 .

DARK clouds are gathering at Wisma MIC today, as the political party's big boys learn that being part of the unity government, doesn't get you a free pass for anything.

No pride, taken for a ride

You say I'm the only one when I look in your eyes

I want to believe you but you know how to lie
