The sun is gone and the flowers rot Words are spaces between us And i should′ve been down in the rivers i′ve found of token lost And i should′ve been down when you made me insecure
So break me down if it makes you feel right And hate me now if it keeps you alright You can break me down if it takes all your might ′cause i′m so much more than meets the eye
And i′m the one you can never trust ′cause wounds are ways to reveal us And yeah i could have tried and devoted my life to both of us But what a waste of my time when the world we have is yours
So break me down if it makes you feel right And hate me now if it keeps you alright You can break me down if it takes all your might ′cause i′m so much more than all your lies
Hate me, break me down So break me down So break me down So break me down if it makes you feel right And hate me now if it keeps you alright You can break me down if it takes all your might ′cause i′m so much more than meets the eye
Break, break down, steady breakin′ me on down Break, break down, steady breakin′ me on down Break, break down, steady breakin′ me on down Break, break down, steady breakin′ me on down
You called yesterday to basically say That you care for me but that you′re just not in love Immediately I pretended to be feeling similarly And led you to believe I was O.K. To just walk away from the one thing That′s unyielding and sacred to me
[Chorus:] Well I guess I′m trying to be nonchalant about it And I′m going to extremes to prove I′m fine without you But in reality I′m slowly losing my my mind Underneath the guise of a smile gradually I′m dying inside Friends ask me how I feel and I lie convincingly ′Cause I don′t want to reveal the fact that I′m suffering So I wear my disguise ′til I go home at night And turn down all the lights and then break down and cry
So what do you do when somebody you′re devoted to Suddenly just stops loving you and it seems they haven′t got a clue Of the pain that rejection is putting you through Do you cling to your pride and sing "I will survive" Do you lash out and say "How dare you leave this way" Do you hold on in vain as they just slip away
[Chorus]
Yeah, c′mon Yeah, c′mon, c′mon Break break down Gotta get control Roll roll roll along Steady breakin′ me on down Roll roll roll along Break break down Gotta get control Roll roll roll along Steady breakin′ me on down Roll roll along
It′ll break you down Only if you let it Everyday crucial situation wrackin′ my mind Tryin′ to break me down But I won′t let it Forget it Forget it
I′ve been feelin′ like you′re breakin′ me down Kickin′ me around Stressin′ me out I think I better go and get out and let me Release some stress (stress)
Don′t ever wanna feel no pain (pain) Hoping for the sun But it looks like rain (rain, rain, rain) Oh, i just wanna maintain
Yeah, when you feel the pressure′s on But nevertheless Krayzie won′t fall It′s over It′s endin′ here, here
i hope this old train breaks down then i can take a walk around and see what there is to see time is just a melody
but the people in the streets walk as fast as their feet can take em i just rode through town and though my window′s got a view well the frame im lookin′ through seems to have no concern for now so for now
i need this old train to breakdown oh please just let me please breakdown
well this engine screams out loud centipede gonna crawl westbound and so i don′t even make a sound cause its gonna sting me when leave this town
and all the people in the streets they′d never get to meet if these tracks don′t bend somehow and i got no time that i got to get to get to where i dont need to be
so i
i need this here old train to breakdown oh please just let me please breakdown i need this old train to breakdown let me please break down i wanna break on down but i can′t stop now let me break on down
but you can′t stop nothin′ if you got no control of the thoughts in your mind that you kept and you know you dont know nothin but you dont need to know the wisdoms in the trees not the glass windows you can′t stop wishin if you dont let go the things that you find and you lose and you know you keep on rollin′ put the moment on hold the frame′s too bright so put the blinds down low
i need this old train to breakdown oh please just let me please breakdown
Born into Nixon I was raised in hell A welfare child Where the teamsters dwelled The last one born The first one to run My town was blind from refinery sun
My generation is zero I never made it As a working class hero
21st Century Breakdown I once was lost but never was found I think I am losing What′s left of my mind To the 21st century deadline
I was made of poison and blood Condemnation is what I understood
Videogames of the towers fall Homeland security Could kill us all
We are the class of ′13 Born in the era of humility We are the desperate in the decline Raised by the bastards of 1969
My name is no one The long lost son Born on the 4th of July Raised in the era of heroes and cons That left me for dead or alive
I am a nation A worker of pride My debt to the status quo
The scars on my hands And the means to an ends Is all the that I have to show
I swallowed my pride And I choked on my faith I′ve given my heart and my soul I′ve broken my fingers And lied through my teeth The pillar of damage control
I′ve been to the edge And I′ve thrown the bouquet Of flowers left over the grave I sat in the waiting room Wasting my time And waiting for judgement day
I praise liberty The "freedom to obey" Is the song that strangles me Don′t cross the line
Dream, America dream I can′t even sleep From the light′s early dawn
Scream, America scream Believe what you see From heroes and cons?
Open up the book you beat me with again. Read it off one sentence at a time. I′m tired of all the lines, Convictions and your lies. What right do you have to point at me?
Well, I′m sitting alone thinking about it all over coffee. And still crowdin′ my space are the things you still hold against me. You cannot save me.
Well, it′s not the time to breakdown. It′s not the time to breakdown. It′s not the time to break up this love, Keep it together now. It′s not the time to break.
Read it all, no need for separating here. You see what you want and try to justify. All your little lines, Convictions and your lies. What right do you have to point at me?

Breakdown (are you looking for a breakdown) Shakedown (maybe a shakedown baby) If you′re looking for a breakdown If you′re looking for a shakedown I can feel it in the air tonight and it feels all right Didn′t see it comin′ And it′s something that I can′t deny It takes me high But I know that I′m not afraid, not gonna hide away I feel alive Tonight Oh yeah yeah CHORUS If you′re looking for a breakdown Where the kicks are comin′ for free Where the mood is right And the beats are tight You can kick it with me If you′re looking for a shakedown Where the mix is on the money You know, I know that you can kick it with me Everybody howdy howdy, shake your booty, move your body Everybody make it rowdy that you can kick it with me Hey girl I can see it to that you′re feelin′ rude Are you comin′? ′Cause you know that I aim to please That′s the way it is (yeah) Swing your fine self around to me And I′ll make you see I feel alive Tonight Yeah oh yeah yeah CHORUS Baby, can we, get up, on it?
