The Break — текст песни (Soul Asylum)

Candy coated cannibalistic newsflashed across the screen
Stay tuned we`ll define what`s wrong and what`s right
What`s obscure and what`s obscene
And the fat cat laughs as you lose your last chance as his pants split right down the seams
But if I ever get my break for God`s sake
I`m gonna make my break clean

Yes I may be a dirty old man by the time I can beat down this dirty old scene
But if I ever get my break
I`m gonna make my break clean

I`ve got bars on my windows and lines on my face
I can`t compete in this race
I don`t like it when she`s on the street at night
She can barely go anyplace
And everybody wants control of her body and I`m hoping the choice might be me
If I ever get my break for God`s sake
I`m gonna make my break clean

If you ever give me a break
I`m gonna make my break clean

Shake me I`ve painted myself in the corner of an escape artist`s dream
And you know I believe it cause I just can`t leave it
I don`t really know what it means
I may be buried alive or just left in the dirt
I`m fading as fast as my jeans
If I ever get my break for God`s sake
I`m gonna make my break clean
