Lyrics

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
And 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, ha
But I never saw the splendour
In stealing all your gold
Taking all your silver
Doing what I'm told
It's just a breakdown
A breakdown
A breakdown
A breakdown
Oh, look out
Shaking like a leaf in the wind, see me blowing away
Never see me fall on the ground till I've 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
It's just a breakdown
Breakdown
Breakdown
It's just a, a breakdown
Oh, look out, ha
Better come back and get there someday
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
And taking all your silver
And doing what I'm told
It's just a breakdown
Breakdown
Breakdown
Breakdown
Oh, look out
