Lyrics

Breakdown

[Verse 1]

I can give a damn 'bout just about anyone

Who can give a damn right back about me

I could go along with popular opinion

If ever it was all it was cracked up to be

[Chorus]

I'm gonna breakdown

Because I really really feel

I'm gonna breakdown

Because I really don't care

[Verse 2]

I could be content for life playing PlayStation

If ever a commercial really showed me the game

Have you ever wondered why Gary Oldman's

Speaking accents never twice the same

[Chorus]

I'm gonna breakdown

Because I really really feel

I gotta breakdown

Because I really don't care

[Verse 3]

For you I wrote symphonies

Thirty-thousand harmonies in tune

Tickled ebonies and ivories

But you were never listenin' at all to the things I say

The beats that I can drop like motherfucking Prince Paul, baby

[Break]

Breakdown

Breakdown

Because I really don't care

Break it down

[Chorus]

Yeah, I'm gonna breakdown

Because I really really feel

I'm gonna breakdown

Because I really don't care

[Outro]

Breakdown

Because I really don't care

I'll breakdown
