Lyrics
Breakdown
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I feel the need to get away, and find a code into the sun
The people that were turned away, have nowhere left to run
Its a polarised and subsidised government decision
Come and join us now boy be amongst the winners
The circle is a showdown, epicentre for the fiction
and the policies are for you, if you will be with us
They know what to say when, they know what to say now,
They know what to say, when they're falling down
We're heading for a breakdown, we're heading for a fall
A government shakedown, that's heading to the wall
To find today in sorrowed state, and a past that's given way,
To a rationale economy, with a lock above the gate
Its a polarised and subsidised government decision
Come and join us now boy be amongst the winners
The circle is a showdown, epicentre for the fiction
and the policies are for you, if you will be with us
They know what to say when, they know what to say now,
They know what to say, when they're falling down
We're heading for a breakdown, we're heading for a fall
A government shakedown, that's heading to the wall
Breakdown, shakedown, comedown, fall down
