Breakdown

Getting near the end

Now I knew the time was right

For a breakdown

Megaton surprise

But your eyes never

Made it a shakedown

Shot you full of rock and roll

Couldn't make your soul

Didn't burn you to the bone

Do what the man says

Take the money and run

But I never saw the splendour

In stealing all your gold

Taking all your silver

And doing what I'm told

I never saw the tears

But I knew you cried

For rhythm n blues

Screaming like a wildcat I knew

That I had nothing to lose

Shot you full of rock n roll

Couldn't make your soul

Didn't burn you to the bone

Do what the man says

Take the money and run

But I never saw the splendour

In stealing all your gold

Taking all your silver

And doing what I'm told

Its just a breakdown

Breakdown

Breakdown

Breakdown

Shaking like a leaf

In the wind see me blowing away

Never see me fall on the ground

Till Ive had my say

Shot you full of rock n roll

Couldn't make your soul

Didn't burn you to the bone

Do what the man says

Take the money and run

But I never saw the splendour

In stealing all your gold

Taking all your silver

And doing what I'm told

Its just a breakdown

Breakdown

Breakdown

Its just a breakdown

Getting near the end

Now I knew the time was right

For a breakdown

Megaton surprise but your eyes

Never made it a shakedown

Shot you full of rock n roll

Couldn't make your soul

Didn't burn you to the bone

Do what the man says

Take the money and run

But I never saw the splendour

In stealing all your gold

Taking all your silver

And doing what I'm told

Its just a breakdown
