Lyrics

Breakin´ Down

Ain’t nobody in this city got any hopes or dreams

They just look up, wait for something to drop

Into their hands and set ‘em free

Chorus:

And we’ll sell it  all before we drown

Everything I own is on the verge of breaking down

Verse 2:

Rise up early in the morning see what the day will bring

Nothing to the left, nothing to the right

All a man can do is sing

Chorus

I don’t wanna know Betty

Betty don’t wanna know me

We’ll go to the party child, get ourselves a little wild

Reach in the bowl and grab the key

Chorus
