Lyrics


1. TURN IT DOWN

So your old man went and called you a degenerate bum
And you stood there cracking on your cinnamon gun
And your Ma was knockin' at your sister's brains
And you couldn't help thinkin' what she hoped to gain

Just then that freak walked in the door
Knocked me on the floor You said: Hey man
You're on some kind of trip? He said:
Don't give me no lip Just turn it down

Come on
Turn it down

I can't take no more of that god awful sound
So for god's sake turn it down

Now the suspicious mindn of your learned friends
Will eat away at your kind till the music ends
And the creep that taught you ev'ry thing you know

Will hyprocritic'lly ask you what the hell you know

He'll go out and mess you around

Then go home without a sound
you said: Hey man
You're some kinda honk? He said:
Listen
you're a punk Turn it down

Come on
Turn it down



2. BREAKDOWN

Yesterday I flew straight into tomorrow
Today I'm gonna lose
The ups and the downs
And the seeds that they sow

Blowin' hot and cold
Must be getting old
Everybody knows,
The cubes that you knock back
Won't reincarnate
You are trapped it's your fate
Very soon it's too late
So you give up and

Break down, stay down
Break down, low down
Break down, stay down
Stay down, break down

Head is playin' tricks
Colours are appearin'
But black and white don't mix
With stories I'm hearing
They're bringing me down

If you don't help me soon
I think I'm going crazy
I just broke up the room
Give me a piece of the
World that I know
Where the seeds that I sow
Are the minds that I blow
So I give up and

Break down, stay down
Break down, low down
Break down, stay down
Stay down, break down
