Breakdown

Just another quiet night passing by
I got nothing to say
I got nothing to rhyme
The phone keeps ringing loud in my ears
I've got the car keys and turn off the TV
Well I don't have nothing to do
It's already 3 in the morning and I keep singing the blues
It may be sad but you know it's true
When the end comes I'm no different from you
Take a good look around
There's no reason to be proud
We're livin' on a breakdown
Riding much too fast
Stand up and shout it out
Before you burn and crash
Out of the car, let me see some ID
"Well, everything's ok as you can see"
And what about your friend right here?
"I swear man, I've got this chick for free"
Well I don't mind if you don't mind
It's nobody's business how I spend my time
So stop complaining and get off my back
C'mon man, why don't you cut me some slack?
Stop the world right now
I wanna get out!
We're livin' on a breakdown
Riding much too fast
Stand up and shout it out
Before you burn and crash
